Age UK Westminster
We exist to promote the well-being of older people in the City of Westminster
The Christmas project
Christmas is meant to be a time of happiness, surrounded by loved ones. But many older people in Westminster will be alone this Christmas.
With the support of St Paul's School, we are aiming to make Christmas Day a special and enjoyable time for older residents, who may be suffering from loneliness and isolation.

Welcome to Age UK Westminster
We are an independent charity supporting older people in Westminster for over 70 years. Our services aim to empower older people to understand their rights and lead more fulfilling and socially active lives.
New analysis by Age UK has found that 198,000 older people in London can go for a month without meeting up with a friend, and that 19,000 over 65s in the region have not even had a conversation with family or friends over the same period. Many people experience loneliness at some point in their lives. For the majority the feeling of loneliness passes, yet for some it can persist, undermining their well-being and impacting negatively on their quality of life.
We are asking for donations to help us run initiatives, activities and provide support to older people with dementia in Westminster. We are running a fundraising campaign to help us achieve our aims.
