A New Look for the BSRA: Welcome to Our New Website and Next Chapter
6th November 2026
A message from Chair of the BSRA, Dr Bradley Elliott:
Following almost a year of work behind the scenes, I am thrilled to announce that the BSRA has officially launched our new branding alongside a completely redesigned website.
Please take a moment to explore the site (after finishing this blog, of course!) and see our new features. While we have made dozens of structural improvements in the background, there are a few key additions I am particularly pleased to share:
- Usability and accessibility: The site works across mobile devices, different sized screens and integrates the current best practices for accessibility.
- Revamped Impact & Donations Infrastructure: We have updated pages highlighting our impact and mission as a society.
- Member Spotlights: We have mined our extensive meeting photography archives to prominently feature our amazing members communicating their incredible science.
- Streamlined Navigation & Resources: We have reorganised our resources, making it easier than ever to find the latest news, grants, and society updates.
- Room to grow: We have the capacity to add into this like never before, and we’ve already got plans for growing specific pages to ‘bring inhouse’ some specific functions like online seminars or grant submissions.
To bring this vision to life, we partnered with Agency for Good, a fantastic design firm that specializes in working with charitable organizations. They have been an exceptional team to work with and have delivered outstanding results.
A Call to Arms: What You Can Do Now To get the most out of the new platform, here are a few quick things we would love for you to do:
- Register in the Members Section: It takes just a couple of minutes to set up your profile, add your details and state whether you do/don’t want to be contacted by other members. You will have to reset your password the first time you access it.
- Read our Ageing Perspectives Blog: Check out our latest posts and consider contributing your own insights and approach to ageing research.
- Have a Rummage Around: Explore the site and if you spot any bugs, typos, or mistakes, please let us know at info@bsra.org.uk so we can fix them right away!
This is a project that started before my tenure as Chair, so sincere thanks to Emeritus Chair David Weinkove for starting off this key project. A huge thank you from David and I must go to Sally Bird, who has put a monumental amount of work into this website and its content. Thank you also to Domimic Nutt, who provided invaluable input into shaping the copy across our new pages.
But this is only the start. Watch this space…
