About Age UK Oxfordshire

As you grow older, wherever you live, however much money you have, however tough life is, you will have access to comfort and company, to caring and support, and to a life worth living. You will have opportunities, and something to look forward to every day. Your voice will count.

Our work will not be over until, for everyone  growing older, life is more about gains than losses: with company and fun, as free as possible from pain, treated with dignity, giving and  receiving.

We strive to be:

• Caring, for those we serve and for our workforce, paid and unpaid, which serves them.   
• Learning, so that every day we grow, building our knowledge and expertise.
• Listening, getting closer to what people feel and think, and acting on what we hear.
• Professional, stretching ourselves to uphold the highest standards and be the best.
• Respectful, championing dignity and making diversity a reality not a slogan.

But above all we are passionate to make Oxfordshire a great place to grow old in.  We see that the world often makes people old, and we believe that people growing older are simply people, individuals who want to go on living life to the full.  Even in Oxfordshire many people face a later life of poverty, loneliness, neglect and ageism.  We will do our utmost to overcome these barriers.

There are many ways we can help you. Do take a look at the services we offer, from information to social contact to financial services. There are many ways you can help us. We depend on the support of people with energy or expertise or both, who care about older people. I ask you to look and see whether you could help with any of the opportunities.
