We need to change how we age

Help us make it happen.

Too many older people feel discarded and forgotten.

Right now, 1.9 million older people are living in poverty.

Right now, thousands will go days without speaking to another person.

Right now, older people are bearing the brunt of a broken health and social care system.

It's a sad, sad society. The end of Britain. The end of any society that doesn't value its older people.

Age UK is here to change that. And we need your help.

We're the leading charity for older people. We work locally, nationally and internationally, so everyone can feel included and valued, at every age.

Through advice, friendship, campaigning and local support, we’re changing the way we age.

If you're a UK tax payer, you can increase your £5 donation by 25% to £6.25 without it costing you any more.

I would like to Gift Aid my donations

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.
