About Us...

About us
We believe in a world where everyone can love later life. Age UK Coventry is here to inspire, enable and support older people to help people make the most of later life.

Age is different for everyone and, of course, the challenges and the demands are different for everyone, too. At Age UK Coventry, we are many things to many people - a source of advice, information, companionship and support.

Our vision
To see a fair, inclusive, respectful and supportive society in which each older person leads a good quality, fulfilling, enjoyable and fun filled life, and in their later years is supported to live independently, safely and comfortably at home for as long as they wish.

Our mission
To promote and enhance the well-being and quality of life of all older people in Coventry and to help make later life a more fulfilling and enjoyable experience.
To support people especially at those points in life when the right help can make a significant difference.

The Coventry Partnership
Age UK Coventry is proud to be part of The Coventry Partnership which brings together senior representatives from the community, private, public and voluntary sectors to work together to help improve the city as a place to live, work and play

Our services
Our services for older people are wide ranging and cover the Coventry area.

Helping Hand at Home from Age UK is a flexible service, working around your needs and providing as much or as little help you need - whether it's a couple of hours to help with light gardening, or a little longer to accompany you to a medical appointment.

It's ideal for anyone who just needs a little extra help to get out and about or an extra hand around the house to make life easier.

Physical Exercise Classes
Our city wide groups and classes are designed to be fun and sociable. Sessions include seated exercise, tai chi, walking football, line dancing, bowling for fun, gardening and lots more, at a range of over 20 venues citywide.
All classes are led by a qualified instructor who understands the needs of people in later life. Most groups are supported by a friendly volunteer who will welcome you and help you get to know other people in the group.
