Services

Most of our work is carried out locally. Throughout the country, in cities, towns and villages, we provide direct help to over a million older people each year - allowing them to live as independently as possible for as long as possible. 

Local services can include: information, advice and advocacy services, day centres and lunch clubs, home help and 'handyperson' schemes, IT and other training.

Because we are local, we can react to local issues quickly.  And our unique structure means that we are the only local organisation for older people which can also provide regional and national perspectives on ageing issues. Volunteers are crucial to much of our local work.

Local Age UK charities offer a wide range of activities and services. They all offer support through a variety of services, dependent on their size and local need.

The range of services your local Age UK might offer includes the following:
