Leaving a Legacy to Age UK Hillingdon
How Legacies can help in the Future
Age UK Hillingdon is a registered charity working for all older people in the Borough of Hillingdon. It was established in 1989 has grown rapidly in recent years, providing an ever expanding range of services. We have 96 members of staff and more than two hundred volunteers who help us provided 20 services to improve the lives of older people in the borough. With your help we could do more. Already some local people have remembered us in their wills and in this way made their contribution to the work of the charity. They are remembered, not only within our organisation, but for the way in which they have contributed to the future of others.
