Age Concern and Help the Aged join forces
1 April 2009
Age Concern England and Help the Aged have joined together to create a new charity dedicated to improving the lives of older people.
We all speak with one voice on behalf of all older people.
Our vision is of a world where older people flourish, and we are listening to what older people want as we improve our services and activities so that we can achieve this vision.
We do not just work on behalf of older people‚ we engage with them in all that we do: listening to what they say‚ campaigning for the change that they want‚ providing services where others are not and selling products where the markets have failed.
Last year‚ between us‚ we reached over 5 million older people with our services‚ information and products.
We work with partners to ensure that together we can improve the lives of older people. Our key partners are the four national charities in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland‚ all of whom share a name and vision; and the many Age Concerns across the UK‚ who provide services for older people in their area.
