About us
We are a local charity that exists to support older people in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and the East Dorset area to live happy, healthy, and independent lives.
About us
Age UK Bournemouth, Poole & East Dorset is an independent local charity. We exist to promote the health and wellbeing of people in later life by providing services, identifying gaps in provision, and by influencing policy and decision makers.
How we are funded
We rely on your support to keep providing services, activities and support to people over 55 living in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, and East Dorset. We are supported by donations & legacies from the public, income from our charity shops and paid for services and grants from the local authority and Dorset Health Care Trust. Without the dedication and kindness of our supporters we would not be able to provide the range of help that we are currently able to offer.
Our Services
-
Help at Home
Our Help at Home Service is a paid for service that helps with day-to-day domestic tasks for over 55's living in the BCP area. We provide services which enable clients to be as independent as possible and remain in their own homes for as long as they are able.

Information and Advice
Free confidential support for over 55's. Need advice or just not sure who to turn to? Whether it's for you, a loved one, or a client, our Information and Advice Team is here to point you in the right direction. -
Simple and Advanced Footcare
Our volunteer befrienders visit lonely older people in the community who have no one to talk to. Last year our volunteers visited hundreds of older people who would otherwise be alone.
