Age Concern Wirral exists to promote the well being of older people in the whole of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral helping to make later life a fulfilling and enjoyable experience.

We believe that each person has a right to a life which maintains their personal independence, safeguards their privacy, offers genuine and informed choices, and provides opportunity for them to enjoy and contribute to the community as fully as possible, and meet their social, spiritual, cultural and individual needs.

We attempt through our work to fulfil our purpose in line with these beliefs by:

· Promoting effective care for older people
· Encouraging choice and opportunity for older people
· Tackling issues and informing policies which affect older people
· Promoting positive attitudes towards older people and ageing

The roots of Age Concern Wirral go back to 1948 when, in a small office in Hamilton Square, an Old People's Welfare Committee was formed, specifically devoted to the welfare of elderly people in the Birkenhead area.

The name of the organisation, its size and range of services have changed considerably over the years but our "raison d'être" has remained the same throughout this period of development up to the present day - to care for the older people of Wirral.
