Longer statement (135 words)
Age Concern is the UK's largest organisation working for and with older people to enable them to make more of life. In England, we are a federation of over 400 independent charities which share the same name, values and standards.
We believe that ageing is a normal part of life, and that later life should be fulfilling, enjoyable and productive. We enable older people by providing services and grants, researching their needs and opinions, influencing government and media, and through other innovative and dynamic projects.
Every day we provide vital services, information and support to thousands of older people - of all ages and backgrounds.
Age Concern also works with many older people from disadvantaged or marginalised groups, such as those living in rural areas or black and minority ethnic elders.
