“The charity was registered as a voluntary society in 1978. In 1998, it was incorporated as a Bermuda registered company, and opened its first office in the year 2000 with Claudette Fleming as its first employee.
“Today, the organisation is over 5,000 members strong, is Bermuda National Standards Committee certified and holds an affiliation with the American College of Healthcare Administrators.
“Age Concern provides a range of human services such as information, advice, and financial hardship support, reaching over 3,000 older adults on an annual basis.
