What we do
Age UK Northamptonshire is a local independent charity that cares for older people in Northamptonshire. We help them to make the best of life and to have a secure and dignified old age by providing the support that enables them to live independently. We are dependable and adaptable, business-like but compassionate. Older people recognise us as an organisation that they can depend on to treat them as someone who matters.
Every year we help around 14,000 people and their families in Northamptonshire by providing a range of services that improve their quality of life. Our main offices and day centre are based at the purpose-built William and Patricia Venton Centre in York Road, Northampton. Some of our workforce are based at Waterside House in Irthlingborough and we rely on the income of our seven charity shops in the county.
How we are funded
We rely on the vital support of individual donors and fundraisers, as well as contributions from local businesses and the income from our charity shops. Charges for our services and contracts also contribute towards our costs. Every £1 given to Age UK Northamptonshire supports the crucial help we provide in the county. Money raised in Northamptonshire stays in Northamptonshire.
