Short profile:
We are a local independent charity supporting older people, their families and carers. We are a non profit making organisation directed by a Board of Trustees responsible for ensuring that the organisation complies with legislation and setting the policy and strategic direction. The Chief Executive, Gloria Culyer manages the day to day running of the organisation. We are a full member of the Age UK Federation that links Age UK organisations nationally. Our aim is to promote the well being of older people and help make later life a fulfilling and enjoyable experience.
Detailed description:
Age UK has a vision of a world in which older people flourish. We aim to improve later life for everyone through our information and advice, campaigns, products, training and research. A world in which older people flourish is a world in which older people will: be equal citizens with equal rights, have enough money for a secure and decent life, and have access as consumers to the products and services they need at a price they can afford, have access to the healthcare and social care they need, have the opportunity to live healthier longer lives and to enjoy a sense of well-being, live in homes and neighbourhoods that are safe and comfortable and which enable them to lead fulfilling lives, have opportunities to participate and contribute as volunteers, active citizens, good neighbours, family members, and workers, enjoy the benefits of longer life, wherever they are in the world. Growing older doesn’t come with a manual, so if you need information or advice on anything from health to housing, call our free national information line. It's open 365 days a year from 8am to 7pm.
