Age UK charity branch forced to close amid financial pressure

ANNOUCEMENT OF ‘DEEPLY SAD' DECISION TO STOP SUPPORT SERVICES

- 

A LINCOLNSHIRE charity which supports the elderly stopped services from Friday because of “huge pressure on resources”.

Age UK Lindsey provides services for older people and their families across West Lindsey, East Lindsey and North Lincolnshire.

The charity has blamed its closure on the “severe financial challenges” in recent years, including the Covid pandemic, the cost of living crisis and recent National Insurance and minimum wage increases. Age UK's Lincoln and South Lincolnshire charities will continue operating.
