We have a dedicated workforce of around 160 paid workers (mostly part-time) and 400 volunteers who provide services and support to older people in Milton Keynes.

Age UK Milton Keynes works with and for older people to make a real and positive difference that contributes to their wellbeing and quality of life. On Tuesday 1st June 2010 we changed our name to Age UK Milton Keynes, having joined the Age UK partnership formed from the merger of Age Concern and Help the Aged. We continue to share the same values, standards and overall aims: to help all older people make more of life.
