Age concern Hereford was established in May 1988.  Today we have 187 volunteers, provide information and advice to older people, and offer practical help through day centres, basic DIY and gardening, social activities, home visits and transport.  Another important role is to help people unlock the potential of their old age.  Older people today are not just living longer but are remaining activie for far longer and are able to tackle the problems they will face when armed with the information they need.

 

Our organisation covers Hereford City and the rural areas of South Herefordshire.  We work in conjunction with many other organisations, both charitable and statutory, in order to fill gaps in provision and to avoid duplication of effort and resources.

 

Age Concern Hereford (City and Rural) provide the following services:-

  • Static Day Centres at Freshfields House, Disraeli Court and Peterchurch.
  • Mobile Day Centres at Ewyas Harold, Orcop, Longtown, Madley, Sellack, Dinedor, Sutton St Nicholas and Kings Caple.
  • Foot-care and Hairdressing at the Mobile Day Centres.
  • Home Visiting/ Befriending.
  • Information/ Advice Services.
  • Benefits and Welfare Scheme - including advice and help on grants and staying put in your home.
  • Insurance Services, Energy Services and Pre-paid Funeral Plans.
  • Basic DIY scheme including basic gardening.
  • Campaigning and Advocacy.
  • Computer Taster Sessions.
  • Mobile Day Centres offer outreach facilities for other organisations and services.

Whatever your age or circumstances, Age concern is working to help you make the most of life when you're older.  Our dedicated volunteers help us provide care and opportunities for older people in Herefordshire.  We campaign on matters that affect everyone as they age.
