I was sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the advice given.

Rang Age UK to find out about hiring a cleaner for my elderly and poorly father.
Not living close to him, I didn't know where to go to find someone trustworthy.
They said they would have to come to his house to do an assessment and just this alone would cost £31.
What a total rip-off.
Greedy people and I wouldn't call this very charitable.

Dear Susan, thank you for taking the time to get in touch.
I am sorry to hear that you are concerned about the pricing of Age UK Services.
This cleaning service would have been provided by a local Age UK, which is an independent charity to us here at the national charity. However we do work in partnership with all 120 local Age UKs to help deliver face to face services to support older people in their communities, even though we are not the Head Office.
It is important to us that Age UK provides the best service possible and are there for older people in need. This means that we do offer some services that attract a fee. These fees should have been made clear when this service was offered. We aim to charge a competitive rate, which can be driven by the availability of the right type of resource in your area. We charge for some services to help sustain the charities vital work which is offered free of charge, these include critical programmes focused on older people such as our befriending service; benefit support; Information and Advice.
I hope you can understand that as a charity we do need to ensure that we are using our funds in the best way we see fit to delivery against our Charitable Objectives.
If you would like to let me know which Age UK you contacted by emailing feedbackatageuk@ageuk.org.uk I can put you in touch with them directly?
Kindest regards,
Age UK
Why do they have charitable status?
Just tried getting some help for an elderly friend using their "helpline". All I got was a 25-minute wait with messages trying to sell me products. Never spoke to an actual person. More like a scam site than a charity.
EDIT: Can I suggest that, rather than replying to comments on here, AUK actually concentrate on answering their helpline and working to help old people. Ditch the PR and do what you're subsidised to do.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
During the recent heatwave an 83 year-old neighbour of mine suffered the breakdown of her elderly fridge, and had not the funds to replace it.
I telephoned Age Concern, explained her position, and asked them if they would finance a replacement appliance for her. A haughty lady on the other end said, 'We don't do things like that. We give advice on whete she can make the purchase herself.' Very helpful!
Now the CEO of this charity is paid £180,000 a year. Their shops, staffed by volunteers, make 100 per cent gross profit on sales. They are able to apply for 100 per cent business rate relief, and they receive tax concessions across the board. Bequests are large and generous, as are cash donations, so where is all this money going? I think we should be told, and told honestly and comprehensively. Don't you? My investigations continue.

Dear Justin,
We understand your disappointment that Age UK was unable to help with purchasing a fridge for your neighbour. Whilst Age UK does not provide monetary grants to individuals, we are proud of the work we undertake and the kind donations we receive go towards funding a range of free services such as our Advice Line (open 365 days a year) and Telephone Friendship Service, supporting our local programmes like Walking Football and Benefit checks, and successfully influencing public policy on a wide range of issues that matter to older people, such as defending the Winter Fuel Payment.

No compassion phone line…
I needed to talk so called the line advertised on TV. I was experiencing high anxiety that day. The woman's attitude to me was awful she had no compassion. She didn't listen to how i was feeling, that my anxiety was irrational and minimised my feelings she couldn't wait to put the phone down. Made me feel even worse than when I called. Finally I hung up on her

Age UK Home insurance - scandalous
Called Age UK Home insurance to get a quote and was utterly shocked. Much simpler cover than other providers and yet they wanted to charge over £700! Utter madness. I have a normal modern brick house with normal build (no odd building materials or flat roof) in a nice area. All other providers quoted (for the same building and contents) between £145 and £210. How on earth Age UK quote came out at over £700 (this was without all the bells and whistles, just very basic cover, no high value items etc!!) is beyond belief. I don't live in a listed building or a palace! I feel concerned that elderly people may be easily duped into parting with a lot of their money when they could easily get good cover from another insurer. Age UK needs to be investigated - what on earth are they doing!!?! I shall be making a complaint and letting my MP know too. It's an absolute scandal. Shame on you Age UK. Call yourself a charity for the elderly!? I don't think so.

Disappointed at lack of help
Am extremely upset with Age Uk which is a charity to help the elderly or so I thought! My elderly mother now needs a carer and we were advised by the care team to buy a key safe. I bought one then rang Age UK to see if their handyman could come to put the key safe on the wall. I was told they could only fit their ones at a cost of £85 I told them I had already got the key safe I just wanted the handyman to fit it. I was told no he couldn't, it has to be their key safe. My mother is 88 there is no one to do this for her and she now cannot have the key safe we purchased installed and will have to try and find someone reliable to do it. I find it disgraceful that a charity designed to help the elderly basically refuses to. The handyman can change a light bulb but can't put 4 screws in a wall!!! Am extremely disappointed at this so called charitable organisation

Dear Suzan, thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us here at Age UK the national charity. I was so sorry to hear about the issue with the installation of the key safe. I wonder if it perhaps has something to do with not being able to guarantee the works if the key safe isn't supplied by Age UK, I'm not sure on that I'm afraid.
Here at Age UK the national charity, we don't provide assistance of this kind, but we do partner with around 120 local Age UK's who run local services and activities but these run as separate charities to us here at the national charity.
Your local Age UK will have their own complaints procedure if you wanted to raise a formal complaint and they should be able to explain further about the key safe.
Alternatively, if you are kindly able to email us at feedbackatageuk@ageuk.org.uk with your contact details I can forward your complaint on to your local Age UK on your behalf?
I hope you do manage to have the key safe installed and all the very best to you and your mum.
Kindest regards, Claire, Age UK.
Rubbish Organisation…
Age UK are useless do not bother with them!! I agree with all these bad reviews. I phoned 11/11 regarding wanted to complain about Technology and the older generation, and ask them if they were gettin a petition up about this as I heard they were. The advice line had a skeleton staff and said only stay on line if it's a emergency, so I rang the complaints line that was as much use as a chocolate teapot!! Didn't want to know and told me to email and write in about this, I asked what department and was told they didn't have one for this just email general enquiries. Honestly could he be anymore unhelpful, I just cut him off as I was so annoyed with his attitude. I have emailed them before about things only to NOT receive a reply. I don't see the point of these people and they should be closed down.

Dreadful attitude when dropping…
Dreadful attitude when dropping donations into the shop in Bingley. I took some “high value” items into the shop and was pretty much ignored at the counter for several minutes. When the female attendant finally looked up to me all she said was “put the box over there” ! No question of what they were, or even to look into the box and a basic thank you wouldn’t have gone amiss. It wasn’t just that it was the underlying attitude & dismissive body language that was so rude. So I walked out with my donation and took it round the corner to Sue Ryder who were very happy & appreciative of the items.

I was asked to buy a lottery ticket in Lincoln charity shop. The guy highlighted the numbers and explained what to do. I have checked three times and it's not recognised. Rang the 0800 number, gave my number and was told I hadn't won. The web site was having problems. I see an earlier review saying the same thing in July.

Rude staff have put me off buying from AgeUK in future
The young lady I spoke to from customer services just now needs retraining in how to speak to customers. I was trying to understand the VAT exemption rules and prices and didn't grasp her explanation... AND I don't feel she grasped what I was trying to explain either. She was clearly losing her patience with me, which was upsetting. I've been a customer of AgeUK for several years but have never had cause to phone them before. I won't be doing it again if that's how staff treat customers. I felt completely disregarded and demeaned.

Male aged 65ish soon to be married served me with insulting lanuage regards personl apperances. I am the victim of hate crime and social media abuses inflicted by various organisations connected with safeguarding children. Many of these people have been reported and solicitors hired to stop them in their crimes.
This person on London St with his personality commented on my mental health which has been made worse by blatant lies and abuses by NSFT , commented on Clarks narrative range for women calling them MEN as this is what this organised group call me in inneundo. He used the word section repeatably the word man and even commented on time of the month in some foul sexual undertones.
I have noted those in so called respectable roles outside the address that as above.
I am not going to be sectioned, I am not a man. and my time of the month is NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYONE.
I am a economist the only woman on my degree course actually and I am also GOOD in helping law enforcement.
I will not identify this person like he does to me on his phone and whats ap groups but he has now been added to the complaints against NSFT and many other agencies dealing with this.
