Age Uk Torbay has an ambitious agenda in place to help more people to enjoy a better later life. Currently, Torbay has about 63,000 people over the age of 50 and our ageing society presents us with substantial challenges, but there are opportunities to. Last year alone, Age Uk Torbay Information and Advice service helped the over 50's in the bay access almost £3million pound in unclaimed entitlements and this has obvious repercussions on the health and wellbeing of our population. Would you like to be a part of this fabulous team?
