Local Services

....................................................................................................................................

....................................................................................................................................

Age UK North Yorkshire has been operating for over 16 years as a local registered charity and believes that everyone should have the opportunity to be able to make the most of later life, whatever their circumstances, wants and needs. We have office bases in Harrogate, Ripon, Northallerton and satellite offices at Richmond and Skipton, and we offer a range of products, services and activities aimed at promoting and improving the wellbeing of older people. We want to help older people take control, get involved and enjoy life to its full potential.

By 2030 there will be a 57% increase of over 65’s in North Yorkshire, higher than average for England; this means we need more support to carry out our work and partnership working with other agencies.

So whether you are an older person yourself, caring for an older friend or relative, a professional health or community worker or simply interested in the issues affecting the older generation, please get in touch.

....................................................................................................................................

As we grow older we all face new challenges but that does not stop us from wanting a fulfilling, independent older life.

So that’s why we run an Information and Advice service to help older people to find out whatever they need to know on activities, events, benefits, health and housing, in their local area. Social isolation and loneliness is a growing concern, and the large rural nature of North Yorkshire together with the closure of village shops, post offices, library service and pubs, can make it even more difficult for some people. To combat this, we offer a range of services including Befriending and Companionship, Day Activities and social opportunities, gentle exercise classes, as well as practical help, and assistance in claiming welfare benefits. We are also piloting a new HELP at HOME service - all aimed at enabling older people to stay independent and safe at home.

Age UK North Yorkshire oers a number of social activities and clubs

Five challenges facing older people in North Yorkshire and across the UK.

....................................................................................................................................

1. The population of North Yorkshire is increasing from 125,000 to 160,000 in 2021 in people aged over 65.

2. Over the next ten years and beyond with the increase in older people we will continue to see a substantial increase in the prevalence of Age related conditions, including obesity, diabetes, stroke and dementia amongst other long term conditions.

3. Research carried out by the Campaign to End Loneliness has consistently shown that 10% of older people are often or always lonely. Recent estimates place the number of people in the UK aged over 65 who are often or always lonely at over 1 million.

4. Older people in North Yorkshire have particular challenges related to the cut back in local transport and other public funded services in rural areas such as libraries and post offices.

5. More than 95% of hip fractures for older people over 65 are caused by a fall, and up to 40% of older people over 70 will fall once a year.
