Our story
From one bold idea in 1943 to supporting older people across Britain today.
Over 80 years of care and support
In this short film, you’ll see how MHA has grown over the decades, and how our purpose has stayed the same: helping older people live with dignity, independence and compassion.
The film shares key moments from our history and highlights how we continue to adapt and respond to the changing needs of older people across Britain.
Your donation helps us provide care, support and services that enable older people to live later life well.
Take on a challenge, host an event or get together with friends to raise money for MHA.
From befriending to supporting activities, volunteering is a rewarding way to make a real difference.
