Age UK….
…is the registered charity
formed from the merger of the former Age Concern and Help the Aged. Age UK works to “improve later life for
everyone by providing life-enhancing services and vital support”.
I have mentioned Age UK
several times during the A-Z Blogging Challenge so I thought it really ought to
have a post all to itself. It is such a fantastic source of information and
advice on anything relevant to older people. It provides services, advice,
products and training as well as carrying out research and campaigning to
improve older people’s lives (see my S post about the Still Waiting campaign).
Scotland, Wales and Northern
Ireland are represented by Age Scotland, Age Cymru and Age NI, all of which are
merged with the umbrella organisation of Age UK.
Age UK has a brilliant
website that covers a huge range of topics, from money to health to lifestyle
and travel and much, much more. If you scroll down the right hand side of this
page you will see a link to the Age Scotland blog under “Blogs I am
Following’. By visiting the Age UK
website you can also sign up for newsletter, download podcasts or just make
contact with your local branch.
If you are thinking about
how to Age Proof your life, I cannot recommend Age UK too highly.
