About us

Age Cymru West Glamorgan is a local charity that delivers trusted, quality assured and person-centred support that promotes well-being and empowers people to age well.

Our vision is that everyone in Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, and Bridgend is able to age well and enjoy life.

Age Cymru West Glamorgan is building a culture of freedom and responsibility that allows staff and volunteers to maximise their individual strengths in a collective effort to achieve our vision. We work together to deliver the highest quality services, tailored to the individual needs of our clients.

Ageing Well

The world is changing rapidly. People aged over 50 are facing new pressures and challenges, alongside the stresses that previous generations have had to deal with. We know from the daily contact we have with our clients, and from the data and research our ACWG teams are plugged into, that the needs and concerns of people over 50 can take many forms. For example, you might be worried about:

• The cost-of-living crisis
• Living with complex needs
• Supporting loved ones
• Sorting out your financial health
• Managing your health and wellness
• Housing and accommodation issues
• Combatting loneliness and isolation
• Adjusting to a chronic illness
• Enjoying later life

All of these issues - and many more - can impact us in later life. From experience, we know that getting expert support can free people from stress and fear so they can get on with active, fulfilling lives for years to come. We are an invaluable hub of knowledge and experience, and we can guide you to the best support available to you across a full range of topics and issues. Lean on us. We are ambitious for your later years. We want to support you in your bid to age well.
