Age Scotland
Age Concern Scotland and Help the Aged in Scotland took an historic decision to join together to create a new charity from April 1st 2009. The new charity, Age Scotland, strives to represent all of Scotland's older people and provide a united voice.
Across the UK, all Age Concern national bodies united with Help the Aged, creating four new nation-based charities for older people. Bringing together two well-established names in the field of ageing combined over 100 years of experience in working to promote a better quality of life for older people.
In Scotland Help the Aged in Scotland staff moved into the larger premises of Age Concern Scotland in Edinburgh's Causewayside (Contact Us).
Age Scotland operates with a new constitution and a new board and continues to developing its new name and brand. At UK level, the new charity reaches well in excess of 5 million people through its information and advice services, and its trading activities reach over 17 million people. It has the most extensive policy and research capacity ever assembled for an older people's charity in the UK.
