Age UK Charity Quality Standard

We are proud to have achieved the Age UK Charity Quality Standard (CQS) which recognises the high standard of our performance as an organisation.

The Standard is externally assessed and awarded to members of the Age UK network that have demonstrated they are well governed and managed; have a clear direction and strategy; and are committed to ensuring the well-being and safety of older people, their staff and volunteers.

We achieved the Standard following a rigorous examination of our work and a full day assessment visit by leading experts SGS.

The Age UK Charity Quality Standard (CQS) fits alongside our existing quality awards: Quality for Health and Contractors Health and Safety Award Scheme to demonstrate the quality of our performance as an organisation.
