About Age UK Calderdale & Kirklees

Couple laughingAbout us

The primary purpose of Age UK Calderdale and Kirklees is to improve the quality of life of older people in general and older people in Calderdale and Kirklees in particular.

 

In the formulation and implementation of our strategy, Age UK Calderdale and Kirklees will structure its activities around providing the four functions of:

 

  • Services and support
  • Public education and social advocacy
  • Innovation and research
  • Partnership and co-operation

The way in which we behave and act will encompass the following values:


Enabling - We enable older people to live independently and exercise choice.
Influential - We draw strength from the voices of older people, and ensure that those voices are heard.
Dynamic - We are innovative and driven by results, and constantly deliver for older people.
Caring - We are passionate about what we do and care about each individual.
Expert - We are authoritative, trusted and quality-orientated.

 

Our locations

Our headquarters are located in Halifax in a listed building opposite People's Park and we have the Choices Centre shop in Woolshops. In Huddersfield, we have a branch in the town centre and Sundale House, a dedicated day care centre. We also have a branch in Batley, based in the Batley Resource Centre.
