Our monthly Ageing Without Children Group for people who, either through choice or circumstance, don’t have children around to support them.
Are you ageing without children?
Ageing without children (AWOC) covers a wide range of people who, for various reasons, cannot rely on support from adult children as they are growing older.
Ageing without children could describe someone -
• Who, through choice or circumstance never had a child/children.
• Whose child/children might have pre-deceased them.
• Who has a child/children that live too far away to offer support.
• Whose child/children might have care needs of their own.
• Who has become estranged from their child/children.
• Whose child/children can’t offer support for other reasons.
We meet at the Holiday Inn Express in Cheltenham every last Thursday of the month from 11am - 12:30pm. The group brings together people with a shared experience of ageing without children for a chat over a hot drink. There is an accessible entrance.
We're aiming to bring people together, to share experiences and enjoy each other's company. If you are ageing without children and would like to hear more about the opportunities you can get involved with, contact Help Team on 01452 422 660 or email helpteam@ageukgloucestershire.org.uk.
