Age UK

Who we are

Age UK believes every older person should be included and valued. We’re working locally, nationally and internationally to change the way we age. 

Together with our partners, we’re changing the day-to-day experience of getting older through essential services and local support – like help at home, exercise classes and digital inclusion. Local Age UKs deliver these services, using their expert knowledge of their area to transform older people’s health, wellbeing and finances.  

Our specialist, impartial advice is changing how older people feel when they face a challenging issue – whether it’s care, money, health or housing. A call to our free advice line, a visit to our website, or a face-to-face appointment at a local Age UK can help change older people’s worries into answers.

Our friendship services are changing the issue of loneliness among older generations. From weekly chats on the phone and local in-person befriending to round the clock support from our Silver Line Helpline,

we’re changing loneliness and isolation into comfort and connection. We’re an expert voice on ageing, changing the way older people are treated and represented in society through research and campaigning. We work with local, national and international policymakers to challenge inequalities and push for the changes that’ll improve older people’s lives. 

Through Age International we are changing the lives of older people facing emergencies and long-term challenges in low and middle-income countries. 

Your support makes our work possible. By donating, campaigning and volunteering, you’ll help change older people’s lives – now and in the future.
