Age Scotland
Age Scotland is the Scottish charity for older people. It provides older people, their families and their carers with high quality information and advice services, including a free Helpline, friendship programmes, support for older people’s community groups and campaigns on issues to improve quality of life.
- Social Inclusion
The helpline identified £5,736,265 of social security financial gain for older people through 101,320 calls.
We were delighted to support Age Scotland with a strategic partnership grant, which helped the charity to increase the number of older people they supported, and develop and launch the new By Your Side service, providing in person assistance in two under-served areas of Glasgow.
Across the grant period, our funding supported 15,822 Friendship calls and the distribution of 321,075 printed information guides, as well as securing more than £5m in financial gain.
