Age Concern Cymru and Help the Aged in Wales
On 1 April Age Concern Cymru and Help the Aged in Wales came together as a single charity dedicated to improving the lives of all older people throughout Wales and internationally.
For the immediate future, the new charity in Wales will be known as 'Age Concern Cymru and Help the Aged in Wales'. We are currently working towards creating a new name and brand which will be announced in early 2010.
Until this happens we will continue to use our existing websites to keep you updated with events, news, campaigns and initiatives.

With increases in the cost of living, older people on fixed incomes can find it difficult to make ends meet.
