About Age UK
Age UK is a UK charity supporting older people through advice, information, local services and campaigns, helping people to live well in later life across England. Community services connect charitable support with everyday needs. The organisation’s activities bring its mission into the places where people live and work, giving practical assistance a role alongside wider interests in dignity, opportunity and participation.
Advice and Information for Later Life
Age UK provides advice and information for older people. Its focus connects practical questions with the experience of later life, giving people a resource concerned with the circumstances, interests and needs that accompany ageing. These activities give its purpose a practical expression, connecting the organisation’s priorities with the people, places and interests at the centre of its work.
Local Services and Community Support
Local services bring its mission into community settings. This connects the wider charity with practical support close to people’s lives, giving its activities a role beyond information alone through the services available within its network.
Campaigning for Older People
Campaigns complement advice and local support. The organisation connects individual needs with wider public attention to later life, bringing the interests of older people into its charitable purpose and efforts to support living well as people age. The combination of local needs and shared support gives its charitable purpose a community setting. People can explore its work through both individual services and the broader interests those activities address.
