Age UK Plymouth is a local, independent charity offering support to those aged 50+ in Plymouth

Age UK Plymouth (AUKP) has supported older people in Plymouth since 1942 and is a well-established, trusted, and hugely valued organisation in the area. We are affiliated with Age UK but we are an independent charity and are responsible for raising our own funds.

Our aim is to care for and work with older people and their carer's in and around the City of Plymouth to improve their quality of life through the promotion of choice, opportunity and independence. We provide a variety of services to hundreds of people over the age of 50 every week, including those who may be vulnerable or socially isolated.

Why the community needs us
We provide a diverse range of services to older people and their carer's including: free information and advice, Help at Home and Community Support, handyman & gardening, day care services, Dementia services, carer support, social and creative day activities, brunch clubs and coffee mornings, free IT lessons and a Phone Friend service. We also have a wide variety of volunteering opportunities available.

Our impact on the community
Each year we provide information, advice and support to thousands of older people in Plymouth - many receiving help to access benefit entitlements. Our day care service provides social interaction and engagement for older people and our Home at Home and Community Support services helps people remain independent in their homes for longer.

We have various fundraising activities you can sign up to , or if you don't fancy taking part in a particular event, you can still donate by sponsoring the team.

Volunteers needed

Volunteers are an essential part of our Charity providing skills and support for older people across the City of Plymouth. We offer a wide range of opportunities for all ages. Contact us on (01752) 256020 to find out more.
