Age UK is the UK’s largest charity working with and for older people. Age UK’s aim is to improve later life for everyone. We want to make a difference to the lives of older people – here and in more than 40 other countries – by providing information and advice, life-enhancing services and vital support. We develop products that are specifically designed for people in later life, and fund pioneering research into aspects of getting older.
