About Us

Established in 1981, this year celebrating 30 years, Age Concern Central Lancashire provides a wide range of quality services for older people within the boundaries of Central Lancashire to meet the needs identified by older people and their carers.

Our aim is to promote the well being of older people and help make life a more fulfilling and enjoyable experience. In order to achieve this objective we are committed to:

- Promoting independent living and reducing social intervention.

- Encouraging informed choice and decision making for older people. Striving to ensure all older people are fully informed of their rights and of available health and social care provision.

- Enabling older people to influence the quality, nature and methods of delivery of services and support that seek to meet their needs.

Age Concern Central Lancashire focusses support in three key areas; Promoting Independent Living, Dementia  Services and Ageing Well.

We strive to offer services that are second to none and that make a difference to your independence.

With a staff team of over 130 and the support of over 250 volunteers who are active in every aspect of the charities activities over 15,000 older peopel are supported every year. 

The independent local charity gained incorporated status in 2009 and operated a number of non charitable trading activites through a wholly owned subsidiary company, Age Concern Preston and South Ribble Limited.  In order to safeguard its future the charity ensures funding is secured from a range of bodies and activites, thereby not making it dependent on any one stream.  The generation of unrestricted income allows trustees to invest in services which meet identified looal needs but for which no statutory or trust body wishes to allocate resources.
