At Age UK Oxfordshire our goal is to enable older people in Oxfordshire to live life to the full. Whether you’re on a quest to live well into old age or if you’re going through tough times, we’re here to help you.
Sir Muir Gray CBE MD is championing ‘Share Your Warmth’, our campaign asking for those who are able, to donate their Winter Fuel Payment to help us support the most isolated and lonely older people in Oxfordshire to keep moving and well this winter. Donations can be made online or by sending a cheque to Age UK Oxfordshire, 9 Napier Court, Barton Lane, Abingdon, OX14 3YT. For more information please call 0345 450 1276.
With 1 in 5 older people in Oxfordshire reporting feeling lonely and as we move into winter with colder and shorter days heightening feelings of loneliness and isolation, our Phone Friends service is needed more than ever. Currently, over 375 people receive a free, weekly telephone call from their friendly Phone Friend, but there are thousands more people who could benefit from the service. Find out more and sign up to be a telephone befriender or call 01295 234 850.
