Age UK

Age UK is proud to be sponsoring the British Society of Gerontology conference. We are the only organisation in the UK that funds charitable research that focuses exclusively on issues relating to age. We do so because we are committed to providing solutions for later life.

Ageing and Society

We are delighted that Cambridge University Press are celebrating the 30th birthday of Ageing and Society at our conference. We hope that you will join in the celebrations at the anniversary lecture and wine reception on 6th July 2010.

"The London Borough of Hillingdon is delighted to welcome the British Society of Gerontology to Brunel University for its 39th Annual Conference.

Hillingdon Council is proud of its links with Brunel.  The presence of the University within Hillingdon directly benefits residents, policy and practice. The research expertise here is of the highest calibre.  Brunel is a centre of excellence in the field of ageing and social work with older people, but also in sports and sports science and in many other fields.  Brunel research expertise is used to deliver mutual benefits, for example in informing social work with older people and developing practice guidelines for work with different ethnic communities.   The Leader of Hillingdon Council champions the interests of older people in Hillingdon and takes a close personal interest in how the council and its partners can do more to help older people to continue to lead independent, healthy and fulfilling lives."
