HelpAge International helps older people claim their rights, challenge discrimination and overcome poverty, so that they can lead dignified, secure, active and healthy lives.
Our work is strengthened through our global network of like-minded organisations – the only one of its kind in the world.
Last year we helped change the lives of 1.5 million older people worldwide.

The older people we work with are central to our values and ambitions.
HelpAge has a strong leadership group, a diverse board of trustees and an internationally recognised team of global ambassadors.
