About Us
Board of Trustees | Staff information
Age Concern Oxfordshire is an independent local charity with over 40 years of experience in promoting the well-being of older people throughout the county of Oxfordshire, and helping to make later life a fulfilling and enjoyable experience. We are dedicated to working with and for people aged 50 and over, and carers of older people across the county to help them to:
- Lead happy, active and as fulfilled lives as possible
- Overcome the barriers which prevent them receiving what’s rightfully theirs
- Communicate their needs in order to shape the policies and services of local and national agencies
We also care for older people - if they need extra help - in safe, secure and welcoming environments and act as their advocates.
We have many resources and services to offer older people, their families and carers, including our many professional staff and volunteers.
