Our Ambassadors
Amanda Britain
Director at ABL, housing professional and experienced Non-executive Director
A good home in a supportive and connected community is the foundation for our wellbeing, particularly as we get older. But too often we work in sector and national silos failing to recognize the huge benefits of working together. Age Irrelevance, with its bold ambitions and ambassadors and change makers from across the UK, brings new perspectives and fresh thinking to how we use the talents, energy and experience of older people and genuinely create a society in which age is irrelevant.
We have a strong record in Scotland of innovating in this area – not always getting it right but trying different approaches and learning in the process. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and understanding of Scotland’s initiatives in housing, health, social care and digital technology and working with partners from different backgrounds to challenge, support and encourage us to deliver that better future.

We have a new lifetime imperative to age well if we are to make the most of one of the greatest achievements of the 20th century – life expectancy increases.
David Sinclair
CEO International Longevity Centre UK
I was privileged to work with Sally for 15 years. Sally had a vision of a future without ageism. She didn’t want younger or older people to be a victims of age discrimination. At ILC in the UK we won’t pitch generation against each other and will work to promote Sally’s vision of a future where our chronological age doesn’t impact on the way we are treated.
