We are an independent, local charity supporting older people in Gateshead and Newcastle for over 50 years. Our services aim to support older people, their families and carers. ​ We are here to make Gateshead a more age-friendly place and we do this by providing services that make a difference, standing up for their interests, enabling their voices to be heard, and fostering a sense of community and belonging for all older people.​ Anyone looking for help, advice or support please contact us.​ 'Age UK Gateshead it's simply about people'
