About the Organisation
Age UK Wyvern is an independent local charity, created by the merger of Age UK Worcester & Malvern Hills and Age UK Hereford & Localities at the start of 2024.
We've been working in the local community to help older people for many years now; assembling a dedicated office & shop staff team and a huge number of dedicated volunteers to help us deliver local services and activities to older people across Herefordshire & South Worcestershire.
We're a local brand partner of the national charity Age UK which was formed after the merger of Age Concern England and Help the Aged. We're a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee.
We're governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association and have Directors who are also Trustees.
Our mission is to make a positive difference to the lives of older people by providing services that help maintain self-respect, dignity and independence, provide support as needed and serve to enhance the quality of everyday life.
