About Age UK East London
Age UK East London is an independent local charity supporting older people across Hackney, Newham and Tower Hamlets. Its services combine information and advice, befriending, hospital discharge support and community activities. Staff and volunteers help people access benefits, reduce isolation, maintain safer homes and build confidence with digital technology.
In 2024–2025, the charity supported 26,138 people and secured £6,162,058 in additional income for older East Londoners. Its Home & Settle service helped 3,566 people return safely from hospital. Working in homes, on hospital wards and through community centres, its teams link practical support with opportunities for older people to remain independent, connected, informed and heard.
Connected local services
The charity’s five-year strategy was shaped with more than 150 older East Londoners. Teams organise their work around four priorities: independence, connection, information and being heard. Its approach includes working with older people as partners and adapting services to the barriers they face.
Development and staff support
Age UK East London’s careers page describes training and development opportunities, an Employee Assistance Programme and a flexible-working policy. It also sets out a commitment to building a team that reflects its local communities, with staff and volunteers able to contribute their views and progress.
