Age UK Manchester (formerly Age Concern Manchester) is an independent charity working with and for older people across Manchester.
We were formed in 1976 to “promote the relief of elderly people in any manner that now or hereafter may be deemed by to be charitable in and around the city of Manchester.” We aim not only to provide direct assistance through our own services, but also seek to influence the nature, style, client group and location of services provided by others, particularly the statuary agencies with responsibilities for meeting the needs of older people across the city of Manchester.
We are committed to ensuring that older people live longer and happier lives; that their carers have the time to pursue their own interests whilst their loved one is valued in our care; and that everyone who receives our support is treated with dignity, respect and kindness.
We offer a range of services for older people, including:
Personal Assistant Service:
• A complete home support service
• Domestic cleaning and household management
• Help with shopping
• Trips out
• Support with paying your bills and collecting your pension
• Assistance with correspondence
• Escort for medical appointments
• Personal care, including bathing and getting in and out of bed
Ageing Well:
• Lunch club
• After lunch activities such as cards, quizzes, arts and crafts
Ageing Well (Out in the City), our friendly, welcoming group for older LGBT people, 'Out in the City' meets every week for a social catch-up and trips out.
