Important Notice:
Due to the ongoing concerns about the Coronavirus and the impact it may have on vulnerable people, Age UK Westminster have taken the decision to temporarily suspend home visits and group activities with immediate effect. We will be reviewing this every few days.
We will continue to provide our Information and Advice service via face to face appointments at our office and over the phone. We have also extended our Information and Advice line and will now be open between 10am - 4pm (Monday - Friday) taking your calls.
We will keep you posted on any further developments.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) support for elderly in Westminster
The Coronavirus has meant that Age UK Westminster has had to expand its’ activities to provide more personal social contact and delivery services to needy older residents in Westminster than ever before.
We have over 400 known, isolated, older people who need support and the number is growing. An appeal for additional volunteers has resulted in us being able to double the usual number of these invaluable people.
