Help the Aged
contacthome

Welcome

Our vision is of a future where older people are highly valued, have lives that are richer and voices that are heard. Our mission is to secure and uphold the rights of older people everywhere. Working with them, we champion their needs so that they can better their lives. Through research, campaigning and fundraising we develop solutions, drive activities and inspire others to do the same. Our strategy is to attack and remove the major barriers to active and fulfilled later lives. Our four urgent priorities are:

  • Combating poverty
  • Reducing isolation, encouraging inclusion
  • Defeating ageism, speaking up for our age
  • Challenging poor care standards, promoting quality in care
