Age UK Richmond provides an extensive borough wide programme of activities covering health & fitness; social activities & companionship and education & learning opportunities. These opportunities help older people live more independent and healthier lives, build social networks, learn new skills and improve wellbeing.
Our Wellbeing Services form part of a wider partnership of 20 local charities supporting adults of all ages to live independently, improve wellbeing and stay connected with their local community, called the Community Independent Living Service (CILS). If we don’t offer the support you need, we will try and put you in contact with another organisation who can.
We also work closely with other organisations, voluntary groups, community centres and educational institutions in the delivery of our services. We are always open to feedback, comments and suggestions.
Our activities take place at different community locations, including our three Social and Wellbeing Centres located in Barnes, Whitton and Twickenham. We also offer online and at home activities. Small charges might apply, please contact us.
