Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland is an independent local charity. We support older people to live happier, more active, and socially engaged lives within the communities around the City, County and Rutland, helping them to achieve fulfilment. We are a voluntary organisation that exists to promote the wellbeing of all older people by helping to make life fulfilling and enjoyable. Our organisation is committed to the welfare of older people to maintain their dignity and recognise their value as individuals. We believe that dignity, privacy, and independence can be preserved by providing opportunities for older people to develop new skills and knowledge, form and continue friendships and to have their views listened to, accepted, and made known
