Independent Age is privileged to work with Trusts and Foundations sharing our vision that no one should face financial hardship in later life. Working alongside our funders, Independent Age wants to make sure the UK is the best place in the world to grow old.



We know there are currently 2.1 million older people living in poverty. Trusts and Foundations support our work by providing funding for our services. This support is vital. Our dedicated Helpline, Kitemark-certified information and advice, grants funding and policy and influencing work combine to address the issues of inadequate income and housing, the shock of unexpected costs and the lack of community connection.



Issues affecting older people are not going away – with an ageing population, they will only be exacerbated in the coming years. Independent Age works in partnership with Trusts and Foundations to create long-term relationships with those sharing our vision. Your funding could be for our work nationally or regionally, or towards a specific service or unrestricted, applied where we need it most.

To recognise your support and celebrate our partnership, our team will share the latest research on topics affecting older people, policy reports, project reports, event invitations and stories from those in later life. These will highlight the impact your donation is having on older people.
