About us
“I was able to talk openly about my worries. Very soon, I was getting support I didn’t know was available. This has been a lifeline for me”.

Last year we helped 4,000 people to age well, and we are determined to continue to increase this number year on year.
Our wrap-around community services include befriending, mental health support, community clubs, and assistance with applications for benefits such as attendance allowance and hidden disabilities blue badges.
Nearly 20,000 people are living with dementia in Essex, and our wide range of services provide a lifeline during a time that many find upsetting and confusing. Our dementia experts provide holistic interventions to support and inform people diagnosed with the disease and their loved ones.
With an estimated 320,000 people aged 65 and over living in Essex, our services are more vital to our communities than ever before.
At Age Well East our clients and volunteers are at the heart of everything we do.
We are thrilled to share our story with you, showcasing the difference our transformative services make to the lives of individuals in Essex.
