Here to Help

The project aims to put a holistic package of support in place for identified older people as quickly as possible, through speedy assessment, fast tracked referrals and support coordination.

Fast access to Age UK Blackburn with Darwen services, such as benefit checks, befriending, footcare and activity sessions.

A referral form must be completed by a health or social care professional and emailed to Age UK Blackburn with Darwen.

We usually contact the client at home within 24 hours of receiving the referral and visit as soon as possible.
