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.
We are still providing a telephone based Information & Advice service, which aims to help the older people of Medway ensure they are getting all the financial support they should be.
We are in urgent need of volunteers to keep up with the demand of being there for our older community during the coronavirus pandemic. You can help us with the following:
- Telephone befriending from home
- Collecting and dropping off prescriptions
- Delivering shopping packs and meal deliveries
- Cooking our meals and preparing snack packs
Call us on 01634 790140 or email us on enquiries@ageukmedway.org.uk.
Engage is our half yearly magazine and is packed full of information, advice and stories about what we have been up to.
