About Open Age:

Open Age was established in 1993 and we’re now celebrating over 25 years of championing an active life for older people. Each week we run over 380 different activities for older people from our own three centres and over 60 other community venues.

Open Age has historically earnt its income from providing services to local authorities and local health boards in a highly defined part of West London.
