Campaigns & issues

Everyone wants to be happy and enjoy life to the full. Sadly for some people in later life‚ this is not the reality. As you get older‚ bereavement or illness can stop you in your tracks.

We can help you get back on your feet.

We provide a range of practical services like help around the home and with shopping. Our personal services help with coping after the loss of a loved one.

We also work together with older people to change the bigger picture through our campaigning work.

This year’s Age Concern Week highlights our work in preventing social exclusion of older people. 

During this week‚ local Age Concerns will also be running a range of activities to highlight the important work we all do to help you with:

• getting fit and active
• getting out of the house
• the little things around the home
• your finances
• getting involved with our work

To find out what’s on offer‚ or for information and advice on staying healthy‚ contact your local Age Concern.
