Age UK Kensington & Chelsea
Age UK Kensington & Chelsea is a local charity working with and for older people. We aim to promote independence and well-being in later life, encouraging self-help and peer support. We offer a wide range of services and activities, and provide interesting opportunities for people of all ages to get involved as volunteers.
Description
Our Activities & Events programme is an innovative programme which seeks to bring together communities to engender a sense of belonging. We promote integration, inclusion and independence by supporting isolated older people in Kensington & Chelsea to take part in group activities.
