Age Cymru is the leading charity for all older people in Wales. They campaign, they research and they fundraise to make sure they build a better life for all older people. They ensure older people’s voices are heard, they challenge and change attitudes, they fight discrimination wherever they find it and they tackle elder abuse in all its forms.

They work to improve the lives of older people. They celebrate ageing and believe it presents unprecedented opportunities and challenges at home and abroad. They challenge ageist prejudice in society:
Their practical services help people stay independent at home and carry on doing the things they love most. They also work to tackle isolation and sustain good health.
They provide services that address market failures, and support the public and private sectors to design age-friendly products and services.
Their network of shops will act as a focal point for the local community, providing information and help with local services.
