Our 80th Birthday
Let's celebrate our 80th anniversary together...
In 2025 Age UK Norwich turns 80, to celebrate our 8 decades of community work, we are aiming to raise £80,000, to do this we have a year of events, fundraising, exhibitions and more to share our history and work with the wider Norwich community. From bake sales and quizzes, to golf days and history exhibitions there is something for everyone in our year of events, do not miss your opportunity to engage with our work and find out why we are still desperately needed by the over 50s in the region 80 years on.
History exhibition
In the 80 years since our founding, much has changed—but much has remained remarkably the same. Discover the rich history of Age UK Norwich through our digital and physical archive exhibition, which looks back not only over the past eight decades but also at the people, places, and shifting perspectives on later life in Norwich. Through a blend of talks, photographs, documents, and more, explore how services like our lunch club have thrived for over 50 years and how emerging technologies and research continue to shape our approach to living well in later life.
