Our professional fundraisers

Face to face fundraising is a cost effective method of recruiting people to support Age UK’s vital work with older people in need. This type of fundraising allows us to talk to more people about our services and how they might want to support our work.

Age UK works tirelessly to support older people in need by providing expert information and advice through services such as our Advice Line, supporting older people facing loneliness through our 24 hour Friendship Services and by campaigning for the rights of older people. By playing our charity lottery or donating to us through a regular gift, you will enable Age UK to support people in later life for many years to come.

A society lottery can only be run for the benefit of a good cause. Licensed with and regulated by the Gambling Commission, Age UK's society lottery supports our charitable work.

The Age UK Weekly Lottery costs just £1 per week to enter and profits go towards supporting Age UK’s charity work. Each week there are 1,500 prizes and 5,000 quarterly Superdraw prizes. What’s more, there are no rollovers in our charity lottery! That means that every week one of our players wins a guaranteed £2,000, and 999 players win between £5 - £250 in runner-up prizes.

Private sites such as train stations, shopping centres and garden centres are found to be suitable locations for our recruitment stands, Age UK must give permission for any venue to be used.

We ensure that all our fundraisers have regular training to ensure they uphold our high standards and we have a number of safeguards in place to ensure we are respectful and mindful of everyone's personal circumstances.
