About this cause

Age Concern Chandlers Ford is a locally run charity providing services and facilities for the elderly in our area. We run several clubs at our premises for elderly people to meet , These include social gatherings, keep fit sessions , lunch clubs. Our aim is to help overcome the loneliness often encountered amongst the elderly, especially after the loss of a partner. We have been particularly successful in engaging men (typically difficult group to reach) in social and keep fit clubs.

How this cause brings people in the community together

We currently run a Sunday Lunch club and a coffee morning. Lunch clubs are proving very popular and we would like to expand our offering by running these more frequently. They are a great way to bring the elderly together as well as offering nutritious meals. Staff from our local co-op have been very helpful in this regard.
