To help us ensure that the future is a positive one, we have created a new three-year strategy for 2021-2023 with the overriding aim to deepen our impact and address inequalities in our society so that more people can live a happy, connected, and purposeful later life. To successfully deliver our strategy we need to ensure we have a strong positive culture and firm foundations, and this has required an extensive programme of root and branch change and transformation to ensure we really are fit for purpose.
