Our services

However we have extra measures in place to keep our staff and those who we work with safe.

Age UK Hillingdon, Harrow and Brent offer a range of services to older people across the area.

These services include both free and services you need to pay for

All our boroughs offer Information and Advice and Homeshare services, however other services are dependent on external funders who pay for the services we provide, telling us where, when and how this money must be spent.
