Age UK
“Our focus, more than ever, is on the older people who need us the most. Too many older people are living in poverty or just above the poverty line. Too many find themselves without the care and support they desperately need. Too many have no one to turn to.”
AgeUK have recently released a new publication, called a “Guide to Later Life” which outlines how AgeUK can help improve your later life with dignity and independence.
