Age Concern

On 1 April 2009 the four national Age Concerns in England‚ Scotland‚ Wales and Northern Ireland joined with Help the Aged to create four new national charities dedicated to improving the lives of older people.

We all speak with one voice on behalf of all older people.

We are listening to what older people want as we improve our services and activities so that we can achieve our vision of a world in which older people flourish.

We cannot achieve this on our own. We do not just work on behalf of older people‚ we engage with them in all that we do: listening to what they say‚ campaigning for the change that they want‚ providing services where others are not and selling products where the markets have failed.

Last year‚ between us‚ we reached over 5 million older people with our services‚ information and products.

We work with partners to ensure that together we can improve the lives of older people. The key partners are the four national charities‚ all of whom share a name and vision; and the many Age Concerns across the UK‚ who provide services for older people in their area.
