In the face of the extreme challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, our future as a charity is uncertain and without your support, we may not be here in a matter of months. We have launched an urgent appeal to help us fundraise £500,000 to secure the future of Age UK Medway, and of the vital services we provide to the older people of the Medway towns.
Check this page to find out which of our services are still running, how we have adapted some of our services to adhere with government advice and what new services we are offering to the older people of Medway throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
The latest government advice is to stay at home. We have put together this page to provide further information, to answer coronavirus FAQ's and some general guidance including how you can look after yourself and loved ones, and ways you can support older people.
Our staff and volunteers are working around the clock to deliver shopping packs to our older communities throughout the Medway towns. Our shopping packs are £10 each and consist of essential food items including bread, milk, tinned vegetables, soups, fruits, toilet roll and much more.
Our CEO and Commercial Director cycled the entire length of the London Marathon in less than one hour, all in aid of raising vital funds towards the future of Age UK Medway.
As part of our response to the coronavirus crisis, we have teamed up with MHS Homes, KSS CRC and Kent Fire & Rescue to deliver a hot, fresh meal to isolated older people in the Medway towns.
