Age Scotland is a Scottish charity dedicated to improving the lives of people aged 50 and over. The organization supports a wide network of community groups, offers information and guidance through a free helpline and publications, and runs programs such as a Community Connecting Service to address loneliness and social isolation. It also seeks to influence policymakers and conducts campaigns aimed at making Scotland a more age-friendly place. Based in Edinburgh, the charity operates within the non-profit sector and focuses on enabling healthier, more engaged later life for its intended audience. Formed in 2010 from the merger of Age Concern Scotland and Help the Aged in Scotland, Age Scotland continues to pursue a vision of a Scotland where everyone can love later life, through partnerships, informational resources, and services tailored to older people and those who support them.
