Stepping Out project launches

Published on 26 August 2026 07:45 AM

We are pleased to advise that we are launching a new service at the beginning of September that will support people aged 50+ who need some help to regain confidence to get out and about again and attend groups and activities following a life transition. The service can accept both professional and self referrals.

The service will support someone who may have experienced a bereavement, has recently retired or moved or has a health issue that has affected their confidence and independence.

Trained staff and volunteers will support with meeting goals and targets to regain confidence and independence and we ask for a commitment of a minimum of 6 weeks.

Unfortunately the service is unable to support someone who cannot mobilise independently or who is living with a complex mental health condition including advanced dementia.

For more details about the service please contact Emma Sharples on 01254 266620 , email emma.sharples@ageukbwd.org.uk.

If you are a professional you can refer someone via our referral form on the website - link below
