Love Later Life
...with Age UK Mid Mersey
Age UK Mid Mersey exists to promote the wellbeing of all older people and to make later life an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. We aim to maximise healthy lifestyle and promote positive wellbeing and independence for all older people. Later life can present a whole range of different decisions, options and challenges, and we have helped many older people to feel safe and secure, to mix with others through a variety of activities, and to feel supported, often through difficult times in their lives. We do all of this whilst helping celebrate older age with campaigns such as our Respect Campaign #DoYouSeeMe?, launched in collaboration with Halton Borough Council. Whether older people are fit and active and looking for social activities, or more frail and vulnerable and looking for companionship or support, Age UK Mid Mersey
strives to ensure they are not forgotten and that their skills and experience are embraced, enhanced and valued within our communities.
FREE benefits and home energy checks We offer practical support in the home, providing information and advice and maximising income. A great example of this is our delivery of the Eon Warm Homes Programme. The programme enables anyone aged 65+ to sign up for a FREE benefits check and home energy check, which includes FREE installation of energy saving measures designed to make your home warmer and more energy efficient. If you are 65+ and interested in receiving a FREE benefits check and home energy check from Age UK Mid Mersey, phone 0300 003 1992.
