Congratulations on the official registration of International Longevity Alliance UK (ILA UK) as a charity in the UK!
Thank you very much to all the members who joined this effort!
Our perseverance succeeded! Now, hopefully, a new chapter will start for the international longevity movement, as improvements can be expected in the coordination, presentation, fund-raising and project management by and for the longevity community.
ILA UK (incorporated in the UK) is a separate legal entity, and is a federated member of ILA (incorporated in France). Currently, there are over 55 ILA federated members operating in over 45 countries (https://longevityalliance.org/members/). And so decisions for particular longevity-promoting actions and representations will be made, on a case by case basis, as pertains each legal entity, and collegially for collaborative actions and representations.
For now the website associated with ILA UK is https://www.longevityforall.org/
