About Age Concern Central Lancashire

Since 1981 Age Concern has been devoted to helping people live well and age well in Lancashire. From helping people to keep doing the things they want, through to providing support when the wheels fall off, Age Concern is the provider of choice.

People occasionally get Age Concern Central Lancashire confused with national older peoples charities but in reality, Age Concern Central Lancashire is a local and fully independent charity and the masters of its own destiny.
