It was great to support AGE UK’s Annual Public Meeting. AGE UK leads the way in empowering and enabling older people in Croydon to live well, healthily and independently. They have an expert team of over 70 staff and over 100 volunteers who work together to deliver an extensive range of services and activities right across the borough. Services span information and advice, financial advocacy, health, wellbeing, home care, falls prevention, dementia support, one to one personal independence coordinators, home from hospital support, befriending and social activities. Age UK Croydon offers a holistic solution for older people to access the services they require in one place.
The AGE UK Croydon garden in Thornton Heath was selected by Alan Titchmarch’s TV programme “Love Your Garden” to have an amazing makeover to our community garden in Thornton Heath The programme documents the gardens development from an inaccessible wasteland to urban oasis! I look forward to visiting the garden when it is safe to do so.
My thanks to all the staff and volunteers that are supporting our elderly and vulnerable residents at this difficult time. They do a fantastic job.
