Winter Health
If you are worried about your health, or your family's health, don't delay, get the care you need this winter. Winter conditions can be bad for our health especially if older or with long-term health conditions.
Festive Information
As you will see, Age UK Enfield's offices and telephone lines will be closed during the festive period. We have prepared a list of organisations and their contact details who may be able to offer assistance during this time.
Home Care and Support Services
One of our key missions is to enable older people to live the life they want to live.
Through our extensive range of home-based services, we are able to help people to build their confidence, remain independent and to stay in their own home for longer.
Our award-winning Home Care and Support Service provides bespoke in-home care and support and our trained, professional and friendly staff members work with clients to develop a unique, tailored package according to their needs and wishes.
Help Us Save The Winter Fuel Payment
The Chancellor's recent announcement to remove the Winter Fuel Payment (WFP) from older people who are not on pension credit and a handful of other means-tested benefits is wrong and likely to affect around 2 million older people. Age UK has launched a petition to push the Government to reverse this decision. Please join us in signing - and please share for others to sign too!
Activities, Events and Classes for Autumn
We run a wide selection of activities covering health and well-being, fitness and exercise as well as support groups and practical workshops for anyone aged 50+ in the Borough. A list of our classes can be downloaded by clicking the link on the right and other information can be found in the drop-down menu under Our Services and Events and Activities. Also keep an eye on the News Section!
