EmbracingAge

What we do and why

Embracing Age is a Christian charity working towards a world where older people are valued, connected and full of hope, by combatting loneliness, mobilising volunteers, equipping churches and speaking out.
Inspired by our Christian ethos, we serve older people regardless of background, ethnicity or beliefs, upholding dignity, compassion and respect for all.

Where we operate

National Outreach

Embracing Age operates across the UK by supporting informal carers, and equipping churches in their ministry amongst older people.

Regional projects

We also have regional areas where our Project Co-ordinators mobilise volunteers to bring joy and companionship to care home residents across those areas - currently Richmond upon Thames, the Isle of Wight, Hampshire and West Sussex. Click on an image to visit that area's page.
