Who we are
̽»¨ÊÓƵ is the country's leading charity dedicated to helping everyone make the most of later life.
The over-60s is the fastest-growing group in society and there are more of us than ever before.
Ageing is not an illness, but it can be challenging. At ̽»¨ÊÓƵ we provide services and support at a national and local level to inspire, enable and support older people.
We stand up and speak for all those who have reached later life, and also protect the long-term interests of future generations.
Our network
The ̽»¨ÊÓƵ network comprises around 120 local ̽»¨ÊÓƵs reaching most of England.
Our family also includes Age Cymru, Age NI and Age Scotland, as well as , with whom we support vulnerable older people in more than 40 countries worldwide.
Our shops
We have a network of more than 250 shops, selling an ever-changing range of goods - many of which we rely on the goodwill of you to donate.
Our shops also act as a gateway to the rest of ̽»¨ÊÓƵ and each one is a recycling centre.
Our volunteers
̽»¨ÊÓƵ would not be able to function properly without the dedication of the more than 75,000 volunteers who get involved and help all older people to make the most of later life.
