Every year we help around 18,000 people and their families in Northamptonshire by providing a range of services that improve their quality of life. Our main offices and day centre are based at the purpose-built William and Patricia Venton Centre in York Road, Northampton. Some of our workforce are based at Waterside House in Irthlingborough and we rely on the income of our eight charity shops in the county.
How we are funded
We rely on the vital support of individual donors and fundraisers, as well as contributions from local businesses and the income from our charity shops. Charges for our services and contracts also contribute towards our costs. Every £1 given to Age UK Northamptonshire supports the crucial help we provide in the county. Money raised in Northamptonshire stays in Northamptonshire.
