About the charity
Help the Aged is an international charity dedicated to creating a world where older people can live their lives free from poverty, isolation and neglect. It raises public awareness, campaigns for changes in policy, and provides practical support to help disadvantaged older people lead independent lives. Help the Aged believes that older people should not be sidelined by society, but should be able to live with dignity as valued, respected and involved members of their communities.
On 1 April 2009, Age Concern England and Help the Aged joined together to create a new charity dedicated to improving the lives of older people.
Operating under the name ‘Age Concern and Help the Aged’, we speak with one voice on behalf of all older people.
Age UK is the new force combining Age Concern
and Help the Aged. We will be known by our new name from Spring 2010.
The Age UK family includes Age Scotland, Age Cymru and Age NI.
