Age UK Milton Keynes is a local independent charity that provides support and services to over 10,000 older people and their families in the borough of Milton Keynes every year. In the financial year 2016 to 2017 over 2,000 enquiries were made to our free Information & Advice Service. We run 14 advice sessions at eight locations in Milton Keynes each week and our Community Home Visitors visit an average of 20 older people at home every week. Over £2,692,000 was claimed in welfare benefits following our intervention last year. Getting older can lead to people feeling lonely and isolated and many of us worry about losing our health and becoming a burden on others. Whether you call it social connections or sustaining a network, support and friendship is good for us. Having friends and people to talk to can help us cope with day-to-day anxieties. Age UK Milton Keynes aims to keep older people independent and feeling supported. We rely on the income from our shops, the charges from some of our services, fundraising activity, donations and legacies. We need your support so that we can carry on making a difference. Please get in touch if youd like to volunteer or fundraise for us. Together we can improve later life for everyone in Milton Keynes.
