Who we are

We’re proud to be part of the Age UK Network. Together, we’re providing crucial support for older people - locally, nationally and internationally. 

What we do

We're an expert voice on ageing. Through campaigning, local support, advice and friendship, we’re changing the way we age.

Our strategy

Our strategy for 2024–2029 is built around a single, ambitious, unifying vision of a world where every older person feels included and valued.

Work for us

Age UK is here to change how we age - and there are so many ways to use your skills to help. Take a look at our latest vacancies. 

How we're run

As a charity, Age UK has a Board of Trustees whose job it is to monitor Age UK's strategic objectives. Our Senior Directors work closely with the Trustees to carry out the day-to-day running of Age UK.

How we raise our funds

Fundraising is our most significant source of income, powering all we deliver for older people. We’re tremendously thankful to our supporters for making our work possible.
