Every day, Age UK hears from older people at their lowest ebb. Many are anxious, distressed and unbearably alone. Often, people say they have no one else they can turn to. One caller in her 80s told us: “It’s like I don’t exist anymore.”
We’re the UK’s leading charity for older people. We believe no older person should have to struggle alone. Right now, almost 6 million older people in England are facing serious challenges, and 2.5 million say they have no one to turn to when times get tough. We’re determined to be there, providing information, support, friendship and advice to older people most in need.
We all hope to leave the world a little better than we found it. By choosing to leave a gift in your Will to Age UK, your kindness can help some of the most vulnerable older people find comfort, support and friendship in the darkest times.
Gifts in Wills come in all shapes and sizes and we are so grateful for every gift we receive. These special gifts help fund our vital services so that we can be there for those who need us most, now and in the future.
