AGE Cymru is Wales’ largest and leading older people’s charity.
We want an age friendly Wales where older people are treated the same as the rest of the population and have enough money to lead a good quality of life.
Unfortunately, 84,000 older people in Wales live in poverty – 55,000 of these in severe poverty.
If you’re finding it hard to make ends meet and are worried about paying your bills, you can contact Age Cymru Advice on 08000 223 444. This free service provides confidential and expert bilingual advice on a range of issues, including financial matters such as pension credit.
You can also ask our advisors for your free copy of Age Cymru’s new more money in your pocket guide to claiming benefits.
