Why the community needs usWe reach over 7,000 people in later life each year with the combined reach of our services. Last year we helped local residents unlock over £1million of unclaimed benefits. We place considerable emphasis on delivering services in peoples own homes, where needed, including practical help and support, home visiting, support in claming benefits and support following a stay in hosptial. We provide vibrant activity clubs as well as dementia support clubs which provide valuable respite for carers.
