About us
We’re your local charity supporting older people across Ealing to live happy, fulfilling, and independent lives.
Who We Are
Age UK Ealing is an independent local charity dedicated to promoting the interests and wellbeing of older people in and around the London Borough of Ealing. Our objective is to support older people in any manner deemed charitable by law, helping them lead fulfilling and independent lives.
The charity became a brand partner of Age UK, the national charity, in 2011. Prior to this, we were known as Age Concern Ealing (ACE), which was established in 2003 through the merger of four local Age Concern organisations within the borough.
Although we have operated under the Age UK Ealing name for several years, this became our official registered name in November 2019. While we are proud to be part of the Age UK national network, Age UK Ealing is an independent charity and is solely responsible for raising its own funds to support our local services.
Our Vision
Our vision is for an age-friendly Ealing, where older people of all cultures and backgrounds are valued, connected, and actively engaged in their community.
