About Us

Our History

In 1947 National Older peoples Clubs were formed throughout the UK. In 1948 the Great Yarmouth Branch was formed. The name AGE CONCERN was first used in 1971 and Great Yarmouth took the name Age Concern Great Yarmouth in 1987. All Age Concerns are independent charities. In September 2017 the Charity decided to change its name to AGE+CONNECTED, continuing to support people aged 50 years and over.

AGE UK is a registered charity which was formed in February 2009 combining the previously separate charities of Age Concerns and Help the Aged to form the UK’s largest charity for older people. The new brand was launched April 2010. AGE+CONNECTED is a friend of AGE UK and supports their work and campaigns.
