We are an independent charity that has been operating locally since 1978, and a brand partner of the national charity Age UK since 2010. Our services cover the whole of South Lakeland, and our impact locally is driven by the passion and dedication of our team of over 50 staff and over 200 volunteers, as well as our ability to raise much needed funds to sustain our work now and in the future. Sometimes the problems we face in later life can't be tackled on our own. We provide tailored information. We give one to one advice. We campaign locally. And we do much more, from organising village drop-ins to setting up lunch clubs, working with older people so that they can stay living well at home.
