Why Work with Age UK East London

We want East London to be a place where people age well, and where older people live happy, healthy and fulfilled lives.

It is our goal to ensure that older people in East London can live safely and independently; are connected to each other, their friends and their families; are informed about services and entitlements available to them, and have their experience recognised and their voices heard. 

If you share our goals and could help us reach them, we would love to hear from you.
