Will you help us solve the crisis hiding in plain sight?

Your donation could help ensure no older person has to struggle alone in poverty

1.7 million older people are living in poverty.

It’s a terrible thought – struggling through your later years without enough money to afford the basics like decent food and somewhere safe to live.

It’s a crisis hiding in plain sight. Yet people don’t see the signs, or simply look away.

But Age UK sees it. And by donating today, you can help us tackle it.

Your support can bring comfort and security to an older person living in poverty

At Age UK, we won’t let older people struggle alone. Our benefits advisers are here, ready to help. Our Advice Line is open 365 days of the year, providing answers and assistance. Local Age UKs are on the ground supporting older people every day with food deliveries, transport to community hubs, and handyperson services that make homes safer and easier places to live.

“I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for Age UK.” - Margaret, 74

Could you support us with a donation to keep our vital services running?

Benefits advice

Your donation could help make sure expert Age UK benefits advisers can uncover life-changing money that older people are entitled to – and help them claim it.

Practical support

You'll help local Age UKs provide services such as food deliveries or trusted handyperson schemes that many older people rely on.

A listening ear

Our telephone friendship services are available 24/7 whenever an older person needs to talk. Your donation can help keep them running.

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.
