Who we are:

Age UK North, South and West Dorset is an independent local charity which exists to enable older people across rural Dorset to maintain physical and mental wellbeing in later life.

We achieve this by providing direct services to enable older people to remain independent and enjoying life, organising activities to create opportunities for an enriched social life, and by working with older people to campaign and have their voices heard.

What we do: 

We offer support to improve the well-being of older people in our West Dorset rural community, and in particular strive to deal with the problems of loneliness and isolation. We campaign on the issues that matter to older people and support them to improve their lives both today and for their future.

Why we need you:

By working together, we can identify those older people that need our support.  We can reassure them that they are not alone, and that they can look forward to a future where they will be listened to and treated with dignity and respect.  You can be part of this by volunteering your time, making a donation, or embarking on a charity fund raising challenge.
