Nearly 2 million older people are living in poverty in the UK. But it's a crisis hiding in plain sight.
Most people won't know what's happening behind closed doors. They won't see the struggle to pay the bills as the temperature drops. They won't witness the hardship of having to choose between heating and eating. They won't know that so many older people are suffering in silence – feeling cold, hungry and alone.
[Calling Age UK] was the best thing I ever did. Margaret has always been resilient, but when she started struggling to make ends meet in retirement, the anxiety of her situation gave her debilitating panic attacks. A chat with the Age UK Advice Line helped her to claim the benefits she's entitled to, and she now feels better financially and emotionally.

Age UK really has altered my life. Despite needing to keep warm for her health conditions, last year the cost of living crisis had Lesley scared to put the heating on. Now, after the Age UK Advice Line supported her to claim Attendance Allowance and Pension Credit, the extra money means she no longer has to worry.

I want Age UK to treat all donations I have made for the four years prior to this year, and all donations I make from the date of this declaration until I notify you otherwise, as Gift Aid donations. I am a UK tax payer and understand that if I pay less income tax and/or capital gains tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference.
When you give money to Age UK under Gift Aid, we will reclaim basic rate tax on that money – currently 25 pence to the pound. If you are a UK tax payer, this means that £1.00 would be worth £1.25 just so long as donations are made through Gift Aid. Imagine what a difference that could make and at no extra cost to you. We can only claim Gift Aid where your full name and home address is provided.
We can claim Gift Aid if this is your own money, it has not come from anyone else e.g. a business, friends, family, collection or proceeds from sale of goods and as long as it does not depend on receiving benefits in return e.g. entry to an event or raffle.
Age UK provides a range of services and your gift will go wherever the need is greatest.
