Impact Report

Our Impact in 2025

Last year was challenging for older people, with calls to our helpline demonstrating acute financial hardship, high levels of loneliness, and health and care challenges.

In the face of this, we’ve grown our services to support, advise, and provide companionship to more older people than ever before. From record-breaking levels of unclaimed social security identified through our helpline to distributing over 130,000 free information guides to older people, their families, and carers.

We also launched our ambitious new strategy, Action for Change in Older Age, which will drive our work over the next five years.

From empowering voices and strengthening partnerships to advocating for financial security and celebrating grassroots impact, we are proud of the work we do and how we support older people in Scotland. Our Impact Report outlines what we achieved together last year.

While we have been able to support thousands of people in later life, there are many more who still desperately need our help.

We are more determined than ever to be there for those older people most in need and remain committed to ensuring that no one faces the challenges of older age alone. But we need your support to help us do this. If you are able to make a donation today, take part in a fundraising event, or consider leaving a legacy to Age Scotland, we'd love to hear from you.
