We're a local charity working in the community to support older people, their families and carers. We want everyone to be able to love later life.

Who we are

Age UK Hammersmith and Fulham is an independent local charity supporting older people across the borough. We provide a wide range of practical services and activities that promote wellbeing and independence.

We aim to promote the wellbeing of older people and to help make their life fulfilling and enjoyable experience.

We are committed to reducing poverty and fighting disadvantage, defeating ageism and recognising diversity, addressing social exclusion and promoting more effective and responsive public services for older people.

Where you can find us

Our main office and activity centre is based in Greyhound Road and we have a charity shop in the West 12 Centre in Shepherd's Bush.

How we are funded

We rely on your support to keep serving the community. We are partly funded by the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and are supported by donations from the public, income from our charity shops, and some charitable grants.

 

Diversity

We value diversity in all that we do. We recognise and welcome the diversity of older adults and their different needs, choices, cultures and values and the diversity of our volunteers, supporters and staff. We believe that it is only through working together that we can use our local, regional and national presence to the greatest effect.
