Age UK Kensington & Chelsea

Who we are

Age UK Kensington & Chelsea is an independent, local charity working at the heart of the community to make sure that older people’s voices are heard, needs are met and their independence supported. We provide a wide range of services including befriending, practical help, information & advice and a range of social and leisure activities.

Our History

The Charity was set up in 1973 as Age Concern Kensington & Chelsea and incorporated as a charitable company in 2000. With the needs of older people always in the forefront of the Charity’s work, Age Concern K&C was strengthened by merging with Sixty Plus in April 2009, reflecting the changing nature of the charitable sector and the needs of older people over the years. With the national merger of Help the Aged and Age Concern, the charity became Age UK Kensington & Chelsea in 2010.

Our Aims & Values

At Age UK Kensington & Chelsea, we promote the wellbeing of older people through:

1. Providing services which support the independence of older people
2. Learning from this experience to inform our understanding of older people's needs 
3. Ensuring the voice of older people in Kensington & Chelsea is heard
4. Working in close collaboration with other organisations to achieve these aims
