Age Concern and Help the Aged have joined forces to create one of the most powerful and influential organisations in the UK.  Together, we help older people enjoy a better later life – here and in 70 other countries.

Statistics;  2.0 million pensioners live below the poverty line…

The number of people aged 65 years and over is expected to rise by over 60% in the next 25 years to almost 15.8 million in 2031

100 million older people in developing countries live on less than a dollar a day

Nearly half of all older people (about 4.6 million) consider the television as their main form of company

With your support, we will:  Provide advice and information for more than five million people through our helplines, publications and online.  Improve the lives of older people by providing life-enhancing services and vital support.  Speak out and up for older people.  Fund pioneering research into all aspects of getting older.   Offer support to the people who need it most, in this country and abroad
