What we do
-
We give advice
Our trained advisors offer free information and advice to older people and their families. Over the last year our advisors helped local older people to claim tens of thousands of pounds that they were entitled to.
-
We offer help at home
We offer home support services to help with shopping, cleaning and gardening. We help over 100 older people to get their food shopping every month.
-
We befriend
Our volunteer befrienders visit lonely older people in the community who have no one to talk to. We also support older people to re-connect to their communities and get out and about
-
We provide activities
We have a wide range of activity groups and events across Berkshire to give older people the opportunity to keep fit, socialise, or learn a new skill.
We're a local charity working in the community to support older people, their families and carers. We want everyone to be able to love later life.
