B&Q Tunbridge Wells

Age UK Tunbridge Wells is an independent local charity working to help older people in our community remain supported and never forgotten. We believe ageing is a natural part of life, and that the later years of our lives should continue to be fulfilling, productive and enjoyable. Bringing people together to combat loneliness and foster a sense of community is such a brilliant way to make sure people over 55 in our borough continuing living life to its fullest.
