About us
Who are Age UK Camden?
We are a local independent charity, established in 1965, who have been supporting older people in Camden for more than 50 years.
We have grown to become one of the largest Age UK charities in London, helping over 15,000 older people each year through a range of services. There are currently over 30,000 people over 65 years living in Camden. Our role is to help those over 55 stay active, connected, independent and to empower them in later life. Some of our services are now open to those aged 18 years and above.
Our Values
We feel it is important as a community-based charity that our work is guided by a set of core values. Our values are important to us and are represented in everything we do. Our values are: Kindness, Courage, Hope and Justice.
