Age UK Darlington

Age Concern has being serving the older people of Darlington since the mid 60s and in 1989 broke away from Age concern in Durham to become Age Concern Darlington, an independent local charity, registered with the Charity Commission and with its own constitution and Board of Trustees.

Bradbury House was opened in May 1994, providing purpose built accommodation for all of the activities which include: Day Care, Domiciliary Services, various clubs and forums, ‘Fit as a Fiddle’- offering health related activities and a Café.

In May 2005, a second outlet was added with the addition of our highly successful Information and Advice Centre at 9 Clark’s Yard and later on Trading was established at 11 Clark’s Yard to provide insurance and holiday opportunities for older people.

On 19th April 2010 Age Concern Darlington, whilst remaining a local independent charity, joined with other organisations from the merger between Age Concern and Help the Aged and became known as Age UK Darlington.

At midnight on 31 March 2011 Age UK Darlington became a company limited by garantee. 

In August 2011 Insurance and Information & Advice relocated to 1 Beaumont Street Darlington. (Behind the back of Boyes).
