Our Story
Embrace the journey of ageing with United Ages of Kent. Our innovative programmes prove that growing older opens doors to new adventures, personal growth and meaningful connections.
Welcome to United Ages of Kent
We are a working partnership of Kent-based charity organisations dedicated to supporting the older adults in our community. By coming together and pooling our collective expertise and resources, we provide the very best services and support to ensure our older neighbours can thrive.
Ageing can present challenges, but we’re committed to removing the stigma and empowering older adults in Kent. We recognise that staying socially connected, accessing information and advice, and maintaining independence are vital to ageing well. That’s why we offer a range of programmes and services tailored to the unique needs of Kent’s older population.
Whether you’re looking to make new friends, get help around the home, or simply enjoy your golden years to the fullest, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Our vision is a Kent where ageing is celebrated as the privilege it is, and where older adults can achieve their goals at any stage of life.
Join us in reinventing the way society views ageing. Together, we can ensure Kent’s older adults feel valued, supported, and connected to their community.
