Age Concern Cheshire is committed to making later life a fulfilling and enjoyable experience for all older people in Cheshire.

It seeks to achieve this by providing a range of care and support services to empower and enable older people to continue to live full and active lives, to participate in community activity, and to remain in good mental and physical health for as long as possible.

It is inevitable that a time may come when older people may need additional help and support to continue to live as they wish, be it at home or in a residential setting. Age Concern Cheshire hopes to help to provide that support.

An important part of our work is representing older people and making their views, wishes and needs known to health and social care, housing, leisure and educational providers.

Age Concern Cheshire is an independently registered charity but works with others, including Age Concern England, in the Age Concern Federation.

The charity raises much of its income from trading and fundraising. We hope the public will support the charity by purchasing insurance and financial products, making donations and purchasing items from the charity shops, buying Christmas cards and taking part in fundraising events.

The organisation is very proud that over 650 people in Cheshire volunteer to help the charity regularly. Volunteers work in every activity within the organisation and find the experience to be very rewarding.
