Our Mission Statement
Enabling older people to improve their lifestyle
What does this mean?
To Age UK Teesside 'older people' means anyone over the age of 50. We recognise that early retirement is a feature of life today, which with an expectation of a longer lifespan on a reduced income and a smaller social network can lead to difficulties.
We aim to improve lifestyles by:
- Helping to claim rightful entitlements to a range of benefits, so promoting financial security and stability
- Campaigning and lobbying on a range of issues of interest to older people
- Providing the opportunity to broaden social networks, meet new people and try something different
- Promoting healthy living
