What does Age UK York do?

Age UK York is an independent local charity which has been working in the local community  to help older people for nearly 50 years. We have 100 dedicated staff and over 400 volunteers helping us to deliver services and activities for older people in York. We receive some funding from the national Age UK but we rely on your support to keep serving the older people of York. We are supported by donations from the public, our social enterprises, public sector contracts, income from our charity shops, and some charitable grants.

We offer a wide range of services to older people in York to enable them to live better lives. This includes information and advice, benefits and money advice, befriending services, carer respite service, Day Clubs and Home From Hospital support. All our work is aimed at improving the lives of older people in York. Age UK York encourages older people to speak out about local and national issues. We are here to make more of life in York.
