They are supported by Help the Aged and are based in their London headquarters at King’s Cross. Their funding is an indication of the importance of taking steps in mid-life that prevent future disadvantage and contribute to an active, healthy old age with a satisfactory quality of life.

They blend ethical values with business reality and experience. Their operational staff has blue chip experience, professional backgrounds and excellent skills.
