About us
We're a local charity working in the community to support older people, their families and carers. We want everyone to be able to love later life.
Who we are
Age UK City of London is the charity for older people who live, work, study or volunteer in the square mile. Our focus is on enhancing wellbeing and building social connections so that people can enjoy growing older in this amazing city. Each year, AUKCL helps hundreds of older people to maintain an active independent life, develop new friends and interests, and make the most of living in the heart of London.
We do this by providing:
• Health walks, fitness and wellbeing activities
• A weekly delivery service in partnership with the City Food Club, bringing low-cost, fresh and non-perishable groceries to people who would find it difficult to get to the Food Club themselves
• Trips, outings, arts and cultural events and a weekly drop-in ‘Golden Social’ with a range of programmed talks, films and events
• Help getting online, including home visits for digital support, and a device loan library
• A dedicated group to support to older Global Majority women in Aldgate
We work co-productively with older people and volunteers and enjoy close collaboration with a number of City companies who bring value through corporate volunteering, fundraising and by supporting our work in other ways.
We work closely with our partners including the Corporation of London, Ramblers Walking for Health, Barbican and Community Libraries, and local older people’s and community groups.
How we are funded
We rely on your support to keep serving the community. We are supported by donations from the public and some charitable grants.
Age UK City of London is a subsidiary charity of Age UK Camden. You can get more information here.
