Age UK Camden
Age UK Camden aims to promote the well-being of all older people in the London borough of Camden and to help make later life a fulfilling and enjoyable experience. We provide a wide range of services and projects that aim to support people in later life, including those that are the most vulnerable and isolated.
Description
Age UK Camden is an independent voluntary organisation working to enhance the quality of life for older people living in the borough.
Our clients are the focus of our services.
Greater Camden Minds is an innovative peer support group for older people living with dementia who challenge stigma and influence how we understand lived experiences. Members of groups take part in research and provide input and feedback on initiatives providing the perspective of people living with dementia to instigate change and raise awareness.
