Many older people face poverty, isolation, neglect and discrimination.

Age UK is the new force combining Age Concern and Help the Aged. We will be known by our new name from Spring 2010.

The Age UK family includes Age Scotland, Age Cymru and Age NI.

  • We will help people enjoy a better later life – here and in 70 other countries - by providing life-enhancing services and vital support.
  • We will keep developing products that are specifically designed for people in later life.
  • We will provide advice and information through our helplines, publications and online.
  • We will fund pioneering research into all aspects of getting older.
  • By joining forces, we will ensure more of our funds go where they’re needed.

We are now one of the most powerful and influential organisations in the UK. Age needs one voice. Now it has: Age UK is the new force combining Age Concern and Help the Aged.
