About us
Who we are
About Age UK Plymouth
Mission: Empowering people aged 50+ to thrive through choice, connection and independence.
We believe everyone should be able to live well in later life.
Our work supports people across Plymouth at different ages and stages of their lives. The people who come to us are not one homogenous group and neither are their needs, circumstances or expectations.
Some people need a little information or connection at a particular point in their lives. Others may have a relationship with Age UK Plymouth and our services over many years.
Our role is to understand those different needs, provide excellent support where we are best placed to do so and connect people with others when we are not.
Our culture and values
Purpose: Providing advice, support services and opportunities for people aged 50+, carers and people living with memory loss, enabling them to make informed choices and live well.
Values:
- People-centred and inclusive – People come first.
- Compassionate and impactful – Every interaction matters.
- Collaborative and connected – We achieve more together.
- Courageous and accountable – We do the right thing, including when it is difficult.
- Curious and forward-looking – We keep learning.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
Age UK Plymouth (the Charity) aims to be inclusive and committed to providing equal opportunities to both employees and volunteers throughout the recruitment, training and development of our team, and to pro-actively tackle and eliminate discrimination.
