About Age UK Sunderland

We firmly believe that our new brand and partnership with Age UK has strengthered our work for older people and enabled us to work together more effectively.

In 2010 we celebrated our Diamond Jubilee, 60 years of service to the older people of Sunderland. The new brand ensures we remain relevant and engaged as the largest local charity for older people.

Thank you for any support you have given us in the past and we hope you will support Age UK Sunderland as we go forward to a future where all older people are valued respected and have an excellent quality of life.

Mission statement

Age UK Sunderland aims to promote the well-being of all older people throughout the City of Sunderland, improve their quality of life and help them maintain independence.

'We believe that each person has a right to a life which maintains their personal independence, safeguards their privacy, offers genuine and informed choices, and provides opportunities for them to enjoy and contribute to the community as fully as possible, and meet their social, spiritual and individual needs.'

Director
