Looking after ourselves
We run programmes across the UK network to improve older people’s physical and mental wellbeing.
We run programmes across the UK network to improve older people’s physical and mental wellbeing.
We work closely with our local partners to deliver a range of programmes and services across the UK. These vital projects help people stay safe, healthy and independent as they get older.
This is some of what we do and why we do it.
It shouldn't be about what we can't do, but about what we can do. Our health programmes help older people stay active.
No one should feel excluded because they're not online. Our programme helps older people get online and feel digitally confident.
Everyone should all feel safe and warm in our own homes. But for some, this can be a challenge. We help people stay safe and warm during the winter months.
It's important everyone feels they have someone they can turn to. We provide trusted information and advice online, in print, on the phone and face to face.
