Paul Farthing is to join Age Concern and Help the Aged in March as its new Director
of Fundraising. He takes up his position as the organisation prepares to become ‘
Age UK’ after its merger last year.

He joins the charity from Cancer Research UK (CRUK), where he was Director of High
Value Relationships and before that Director of Legacies. He also has previous agency
experience of working with both Age Concern and Help the Aged.

Tom Wright, Chief Executive of Age Concern and Help the Aged, said: “We are delighted
to welcome Paul to the Charity at this exciting time. His distinguished career spanning
20 years in fundraising and marketing will prove extremely valuable in helping us
