About us
Age UK Norfolk has over 75 years’ experience supporting people aged 50+ living in Norfolk to enjoy the opportunities of and meet the challenges that later life may bring. While we are brand partners with Age UK National, we are registered independently and responsible for raising our own funds. We are governed by an independent Board of Trustees and registered with the Charity Commission and Companies House.
Age UK Norfolk is extremely proud to be an Age Friendly and Real Living Wage Employer.
Brand Partnership with Age UK National
Age UK Norfolk is a brand partner of Age UK (national). This means that the organisation is part of a federation of over 120 Age UKs in the UK, which allows partners to share knowledge and expertise, and to actively promote the wellbeing of people in later life through collective national and local campaigning work.
About our Services
We, alongside our team of dedicated volunteers, provide vital services free of charge for those in later life, including Information and Advice, Welfare Benefits advice, Advocacy, Money Matters, Befriending, Digital Inclusion and Travel Companionship. These services complement those delivered by the statutory sector. The interests of each individual are at the heart of the work that we do, which includes:
- ensuring people have access to information, advice and support so that they can make informed decisions
- assisting people to navigate the complex Welfare Benefits system and claim their rights and entitlements
- helping people to understand their household finances and building their confidence to budget and manage their money
- reducing levels of loneliness and building skills and confidence to enable people to connect with friends, family and their wider communities
- ensuring that people in later life have a voice.
