We’re delighted to publish our Annual Review for April 2025 – March 2026. This has been another successful year for Age UK Richmond, with the number of older people and carers we supported increasing by 11% to more than 4,600. We continued to deliver our wide range of trusted services while strengthening our partnerships. We also responded quickly to support the NHS and Richmond Council by providing urgent assistive equipment services for vulnerable older people.

We were proud to celebrate our 60th anniversary during the year, marking six decades of supporting older people in Richmond upon Thames. We are deeply grateful to our partners, funders, donors and everyone who supports our work, enabling us to make a lasting difference in the community. Finally, we extend our sincere thanks to our dedicated staff, volunteers and trustees, whose commitment and compassion make everything we achieve possible.
