Bags of Support 2020

On 1st October 2020 we are celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the International Day of Older Persons by launching our Bags of Support. This year has been a difficult and challenging time for us all and in particular for older people. Our Bags of Support have been designed to help provide comfort and reassurance to those who may be vulnerable or needing a little bit of extra support during the pandemic. We are still here for you whatever you are facing. For support, contact us on: 01903 731 800

Coronavirus update - 2 December 2020

As we move out of the second national lockdown, the Government has announced that West Sussex, Brighton and Hove is in Tier 2. We are currently not opening our cafes or offering social activities from within our centres due to these tighter restrictions and because keeping our members safe is paramount. Closure will be kept under regular review and we will be following Government guidelines closely. We are still here for any older person during this difficult time and offering alternative support. If you have any questions or need help, or if you’re worried about a friend or family member during these challenging times, please contact us on 01903 731 800.

Coronavirus Pandemic – We are still here for you!

As a result of the Coronavirus Pandemic, many of our existing social and activity groups run by the charity are on hold until further notice but we have adapted the way we work so we can continue to be there when you need us. From 2nd December we are offering:

  • Information and Advice
  • Telephone befriending
  • Doorstep deliveries and wellbeing checks via our localities teams
  • Welfare and Safety Support
  • Wellbeing Advice
  • Dementia Clubs
  • Gym and fitness activities at the Laburnum Centre (in line with Tier 2 guidance)
  • Nail cutting

Unfortunately, we are not in a position to be able to reopen our cafes to the public, or provide social activities within our centres. However at our Bognor Regis Centre we will offer takeaways for clients leaving the gym.

We will continue to review and update our risk assessments to ensure we are doing everything we can to operate safely and in line with Government guidance.

If you’d like to access any of the services above, or you’re worried about an older friend or family member at this time, please call us on 01903 731800 or email information@ageukwsbh.org.uk
