Last year we supported older people in Gwent claim over £2,000,000 in benefits and entitlements. With your support, our services can continue to be there when needed most.
Information & Advice
Do you need free and confidential information and advice about benefits you are entitled to? Last year our team handled nearly 5,612 enquiries and supported older people to claim over £2,075,719 in benefits and entitlements. The service is able to assist older people, their families, and carers.
Help at Home
Time is one of our most precious commodities, and families value time together more than ever. Whether you are still working and find completing chores time-consuming or finding it challenging to undertake certain tasks at home, we can help. Our Help-at-Home Service provides a range of competitively priced home support services to those aged 50+ living within Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, and Newport.
Respite Service
We all need help and support now and again. It may be that your regular carer needs a break, family members are going on holiday, or you are being discharged from the hospital. You may just need regular time out to do other things. Our respite service is able to help step in and offer the support you need.
Fundraising
There was a very real risk of us being overwhelmed by demand during the pandemic, but we were determined to rise to the challenge. The pandemic turned many forms of our fundraising upside down. Income from fundraising events was immediately hit, and many of our face-to-face wellbeing programmes for older people were halted, affecting the restricted funding we receive to deliver our services. Our focus for the coming year is to rebuild our Fundraising streams through building our employer profile. So please ‘like’ us on Facebook, ‘follow’ us on Twitter and add our colleagues on Linkedin.

We work as part of the Age UK network – a partnership of independent charities which include Age UK; national partners Age NI, Age Scotland, over 120 Age UK England Partners and Age Cymru which includes five local Age Cymru Partner's including Age Cymru Gwent.

Your Legacy
Gifts in wills are vital to Age Cymru Gwent, and mean that years from now, people in later life will have someone to turn to if they’re feeling vulnerable, lonely and forgotten. It’s the reassurance that, when the time comes, we will be there to help with everyday needs, so people can continue to live with dignity and respect.
