Welcome to Age Concern Kensington and Chelsea

Together at Last...

 April 1st saw the official joining together of Age Concern Kensington and Chelsea and Sixty Plus, resulting in a broad range of services, activities and volunteering opportunities blended together in a single organisation.

While you may notice no change immediately, over the course of the year, we hope to improve and extend the work we are already doing. While our official name will be Age Concern Kensington and Chelsea, we will continue to use ‘Sixty Plus’ to describe our volunteer-involving services.

This will be a challenging year but the staff of Age Concern and Sixty Plus are ready to focus on making the most of the opportunities that the merger brings for the benefit of older people in Kensington and Chelsea.
