Living Longer Awareness

Living Longer Awareness
An independent not-for-profit organisation has been launched in a bid to raise public awareness of the financial issues, surrounding increasing longevity.
The Life Trust Foundation said it would help “diffuse the ticking time bomb” of longevity by helping individuals and institutions to deal with the financial impact stemming from longer life spans. In its first year of operation, the trust pledges to act as a “central voice” by educating relevant parties through research, consumer panels and an Autumn seminar, along with launching a website.
Our view
People are living longer and the need to stretch our pensions and investments an extra 10 or 15 years is becoming increasingly difficult. Likewise, our needs to care in later life are increasing.
We all need to plan for living longer.
