02 Activities
What the charity does
The charity offers residential, nursing and dementia care to older people in care homes on seven sites across England. We operate day care centres and a free-to-access grants service for individuals, and work to combat the devastating effects of loneliness among older people. Our vision is for a society in which all older people have the opportunity to live fulfilled lives.
