No one should have no one to turn to

Age UK City of London is the charity for older people in the square mile.

Take a Look

Welcome to Age UK City of London! We are the charity for older people in the Square Mile.

This is NOT the website for the national Age UK charity and we are not the London headquarters for Age UK. 

If you are looking for your local Age UK in another part of London please use this tool to search for it. For Age UK national click here. 

We are a community of residents aged 55+ in Aldgate, Barbican, Farringdon and Golden Lane.

We come together for health and wellbeing activities such as health walks, cultural visits, coffee afternoons, film screenings, textile crafts, and exercise classes such as Tai Chi and Zumba. We benefit from partnerships with a range of museums and cultural institutions.

For those who find getting out and about more of a challenge, we have a programme of online social activities and exercise classes taking place on Zoom, including Chair Yoga; a monthly Art Discussion Group; and Virtual Tours and Playlist for Life run by City Connections.

See the latest activities and events.

We offer help to older City residents in their homes and in local community settings.

We are funded by City of London Corporation to provide:

- Help getting online and using your phone, tablet or laptop - we hold weekly surgeries in Barbican, Golden Lane and Portsoken, and provide home visits where needed

- A food delivery service, bringing nutritious, low-cost groceries from the City Food Club direct to your door

- Portsoken Women's Group, a social group for older Global Majority women in the City

We work with local partners to ensure you get expert help and advice.

We work in partnership with City Connections (Age UK East London) to deliver a comprehensive programme of social, health and wellbeing activities and help in the home.

We work closely with Community Befrienders, City Advice, the City of London Corporation and local partners in health and social care, places of worship and cultural and community spaces.

Our focus is on enhancing wellbeing and building social connections so that people can enjoy growing older in this amazing city. Each year we help hundreds of City residents to maintain an active independent life, develop new friends and interests and make the most of living in the heart of London.
