Friends of Age UK
Age UK works with a number of independent organisations across the country that it calls Friends.
What do friends do?
These organisations operate locally and provide a range of services and activities which could include:
- Visiting / Befriending
- Café / restaurant
- Social activities
- Exercise/physical activity
- IT training
- Shopping
- Dementia support
- Foot care
- Transport
- Day care / centre
- Products for later life
- Information and signposting
Many of these organisations are volunteer-led so may only be open on certain days of the week.
