Open Age

Who we are

Open Age is a highly regarded, award-winning charity that is redefining what services for older people look like.

Established in 1993, we’re now celebrating over 25 years of championing an active life for older people. We currently operate in several London boroughs but have ambitions to grow. With an organisational budget of c£1.6 million and 40 staff, each week we run over 380 different activities for older people from our own three centres and over 60 other community venues. Be it boxing or ballet, baking or blogging, French or fine art – Open Age’s array of activities improves the physical and mental wellbeing of our members and in doing so address the issues of loneliness and isolation among older people.

Open Age champions the importance of an active, fulfilling and fun social life for the over 50s. Our range of low cost weekly activities allow our over 5000 members to sustain and improve their mental and physical agility, maintain an active lifestyle, develop stimulating interests and make new friends.
