In a society increasingly driven by change and innovation, the older generation is being forgotten. Find out why at Age UK Medway we work towards the ALF Principle, to help every older person Achieve Life's Fullness and make sure that everyone remembers to #AskAboutAlf
How would you like to be the person in your area, that supports people to access the highest quality support and services, the go to person who gets things done? We are looking for active members of society that are willing to be the bridge between our charity and the wider community, to help achieve our main goal of helping all older people, to Achieve Life’s Fullness.
Our Befriending Service provides crucial support and companionship to older people who are experiencing loneliness and/or social isolation. You will be carefully matched to an older person with similar interests, and will simply spend time with them for a couple of hours a week. This service is life-changing for so many older people, and we are in desperate need of more Befrienders.
Whether it's along magnificent coastal scenery, or in stunning open countryside, there’s an Ultra Challenge for you. Walk, Jog or Run at YOUR pace, along with 30,000 others of all ages and experience, on the Ultra Challenge Series event of your choice. It will be rewarding, fun, and absolutely achievable with your resolve and determination alongside first class support, all whilst raising funds to support our vital work at Age UK Medway!

The team at Age UK Medway is one that has been going for over 45 years. This means that over those 45+ years we've built up a high quality team of paid staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to provide the high quality service that our clients expect.
An important part of our donated income comes from legacies left by ordinary people who, after providing for their loved ones, want to leave something to a local cause they believe in. Some may have been helped by Age UK Medway themselves, or had an older relative or friend who has benefited from our services.
A partnership with us could be beneficial for your business by helping you meet your corporate social responsibility objectives. It's a great way to motivate employees, gain insight into the over-50s market, get some great PR and help Age UK Medway to support vulnerable people in the local community.
