Age UK

Age UK is the UK's largest charity dedicated to supporting older people to live well, independently and with dignity. It offers a broad range of services including health and wellbeing support, helplines, befriending, advice on money and care, social activities and links to community resources designed to reduce isolation and help older adults stay active and connected.

Age UK operates nationwide across England, with affiliate partners in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland delivering local services tailored to their communities. Its work encompasses practical assistance and advocacy to improve later-life experiences and ensure older people have access to vital information and support.

Age UK Charity Shops

Age UK runs one of the UK's most widespread charity shop networks, with hundreds of shops nationwide selling second-hand and donated clothing, accessories, books, homewares and collectibles. These shops help generate income to support Age UK's services and provide affordable preloved shopping options for local communities. Many Age UK shops also accept furniture and larger items, and volunteers play a significant role in their daily operation.
