Independent Age

Independent Age Logo

Our mission at Independent Age is to make sure that as we grow older, we all have the opportunity to live well with dignity, choice and purpose.

Through our national and local services and our Grants Fund, we work in partnership with individuals, charitable trusts and businesses large and small, offering older people opportunities to connect with their local communities, providing free impartial advice and, crucially for the future, demonstrating a strong campaigning voice.
