Welcome

Welcome to the Age Maze, your guide to later life in Scotland

Introduction from the Chief Executive

Age Scotland knows that growing older doesn’t come with a manual. Later life can bring changes and new opportunities in your life; you may need to know about organisations and services which are unfamiliar to you. The Age Maze points you towards the information and organisations that are there to help you. As Scotland has its own legal system, many of the laws that give rights and protections to older people differ from those in the rest of the UK. Our information guides provide information about rights in Scotland and also UK-wide information on matters such as equalities, human rights and employment. I hope this guide will help you to find out more about your rights and signpost you to organisations that can provide further advice and help.

Brian Sloan, Chief Executive
