Life is challenging for us all right now, but for many older people things are particularly difficult. We have many services available to support older people. Anything that we can't help with, we will make sure we put you in touch with someone that can.
Make 2021 a year to remember! You can choose to Walk, Jog or Run, as an individual or as a team, at YOUR pace on any one of the incredible Ultra Challenge Series events, all whilst receiving the best support and hospitality, and raising funds Age UK Medway!
There are already 1.4 million chronically lonely older people in England, and that number is rising increasingly due to the covid-19 pandemic. You can do something to help by becoming a volunteer with 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.
