Campaigns
Age UK campaigns on the things that matter to us all as we get older.
Sometimes the problems we face in later life can’t be tackled on our own. That’s why Age UK campaigns to bring change on issues like fuel poverty, preventing falls, care services and better neighbourhoods for us all.
Getting involved in Age UK campaigns is as easy as sending an email to your MP or local councillor, or as rewarding as getting a group together to do something about problems facing older people in your neighbourhood.
Your actions help make Age UK campaigns successful.
