Inclusion at Age UK Gloucestershire

At Age UK Gloucestershire, inclusion means ensuring every older person feels heard, supported, and valued—especially in rural areas where isolation can deeply affect wellbeing. Our Help Team offers practical advice and a listening ear, reminding people they’re never alone. Through our Voice of Older People initiative, we amplify the experiences of older adults, helping shape local decisions that impact their lives. Whether it’s a phone call or a community conversation, we’re committed to keeping older people connected, confident, and part of the community. Support is always just a call away.
