Compliments, Comments, Concerns & Complaints

Do you want to make a complaint or give us a compliment?

Compliments:

Please let us know if you think we are getting it right. Compliments are very valuable to let our volunteers and employees know that we are succeeding.

Comments:

You may find there are areas of our work, or services that we provide, where your thoughts and comments about our work can help us.

Concerns:

You may have something you wish to raise with us that you feel we could solve, or change the way we work for you.

Complaints:

If you are not happy with any aspect of any service from Age UK Berkshire, please tell us as soon as possible after the event, as complaints are much more easily dealt with at that time.

Similarly, if you are unhappy with anything from Age UK, the national organisation, you can contact us and we will swiftly relay your complaint or concern to Age UK, who will contact you if you agree to share your details.

Age UK Berkshire are commited to continual improvement, and so we welcome all compliments, comments, concerns and complaints raised by customers and service users, Trustees, volunteers, employees, other organisations and the general public.

The Board of Trustees see this as a positive way of monitoring the quality of our services and ensuring that changes can be made where appropriate.

Tell us if we're getting it right or getting it wrong. Call us on 0118 959 4242, email us on info@ageukberkshire.org.uk or download our compliments and complaints leaflet which will tell you how to complain or give us a comment about our services, employees and volunteers. The leaflet tells you exactly what we will do and when.
