Help us build a confident community
Not everyone is ready for group hugs, in fact 48% of older people in our recent survey said that they have lost their confidence, with many more worried about the future.
News For You:
How we are supporting you
Help at home
Are you finding it hard to care for yourself or a relative during lockdown? We offer up to 6 weeks of free support in an older persons home, which can include shopping, cooking and housework as well as liaising with GP's and other services in the area.
Information & Advice
You might be worrying how you will heat your home this winter or need advice on a relatives care. Our Information & Advice team have a wealth of experience dealing with any issues that affect later life, so let us put your mind at rest.
Keeping you connected
Lockdown can make us feel increasingly isolated and lonely for many reasons. So whether you want to learn how to video call your family, find local support groups or you'd like a regular chat with someone, don't hesitate to contact us.
Coronavirus appeal
Make sure the older people you care about have the support they need during lockdown
