• 💪 Would you like to improve your strength and balance? We’re interested in what type of exercise would appeal to you.

• 🧘 What gentle activities would you try? Such as chair-based exercise, yoga, Pilates or stretching.

• 📍 Where would you like activities to take place?

• 🕐 What days and times work best for you?

• 💬 Is there anything that might make it difficult for you to take part? Tell us what would help.

It only takes around 5 minutes!

By sharing your views, you could help us shape the activities we offer in the future and make sure they are enjoyable, accessible and suited to what older people in Westminster actually want.

Leave a gift that lasts a lifetime

At Age UK Westminster, we believe every older person deserves to feel valued, supported, and connected. Thanks to people like you, we’re able to provide vital services, from companionship and advice to practical, day-to-day support.

But did you know you can continue making a difference long into the future?

By leaving a gift in your Will, you can help ensure that older people in Westminster are never left behind.

Why consider leaving a gift?

A legacy gift can:

• Help combat loneliness and isolation

• Fund essential advice and support services

• Provide life-changing assistance to those most in need.

After taking care of your loved ones, even a small percentage of your estate can have a lasting impact on your community.
