About Age NI
Age NI believes every older person should be included and valued. We’re working across Northern Ireland to change the way we age.
You matter | We care | Together we can make a difference
We’re changing the day-to-day experience of getting older through essential services and local support. We transform older people’s wellbeing in the ways that matter most to them – whether that’s getting online or getting more active.
Our specialist, impartial advice helps change older people’s worries into answers. And our friendship services change loneliness and isolation into comfort and connection.
We campaign to put older people at the heart of public policy and shift the way ageing is treated and represented.
We provide a range of services across Northern Ireland including:
- Age NI Advice Service which deals with more than 10,000 enquiries every year
- Day, residential and domiciliary care to 1,200 clients every week in centres across Northern Ireland
- First Connect service, which supports older people who are in need of direct emotional and practical help in their lives at a time of crisis, perhaps through bereavement or illness
- My Life My Way, providing support for older people with dementia, and their carers in the Belfast and Northern Trust area.
- Living Well Moyle – Supporting people with chronic conditions to lead happier and healthier lives, by reconnecting them with activities in their community.
- Support for 11 sub-regional older people's networks to increase the voice and sustainability of older people’s groups at a local level
- Policy and Engagement activities to ensure that policy decisions made today will support more older people in Northern Ireland to love later life
- Products and services such as the Age NI Personal Alarm, tailor-made to support people aged over 50
