Age Scotland

About

We are the Scottish charity for older people. We stand with and support people in Scotland so they can grow older with security, are valued and connected and have a good quality of life. Our vision is that no one in Scotland faces the challenges of older age alone. We provide older people, their families and carers with high quality information and advice services and we tackle loneliness through our dedicated friendship programmes. We campaign and influence on the issues older people tell us they care about. We support and fund hundreds of older people’s groups and community initiatives across the country and deliver workshops to improve people’s quality of life. We involve and empower people affected by dementia and host national forums for older people from ethnic minorities and the LGBTQ+ community to help address the inequalities they face.
