Age UK Hull & East Yorkshire (HEY) is a local, independent charity dedicated to improving the lives of older people in Hull and the surrounding areas.

What They Do:

Advice & Information – Free, confidential guidance on benefits, housing, and care.

Practical Support – Home support, befriending services, and digital inclusion programs.

Health & Wellbeing – Social groups and falls prevention services to combat loneliness and promote active lifestyles.

Advocacy & Campaigning – Raising awareness of issues affecting older people and ensuring their voices are heard.

While some of their services receive funding, much of what they do relies on donations, grants, and fundraising efforts to keep going.
