Age Connects Torfaen is an independent, local charity, providing services for people aged 50+

Age Connects Torfaen is a non-profit charity that supports older people across Torfaen and the surrounding areas. We're about older people getting the help they want, when they want it. Our work is driven by what older people say matters most to them. Every hour given, every pound donated makes a difference to people's lives.

We focus on the individual needs of local older people, drawing on our wide range of services to offer the best possible help, support and advice.
