Healthy Ageing

Age Concern Shipston and District has been in existence for many years. The Trustees decided not to become a part of Age UK when a merger was proposed but remain independent as a Friend of Age UK.
This gives the Charity control of its own programmes and finances. There is a board of Trustees that oversee the Charity, which currently runs 3 Lunch Clubs in the Town each week. It also arranges trips out during the spring and summer months.

The Leamington Spa based Charity was set up in 2014 in Pam’s memory to support those living with a Dementia diagnosis and their family Carer/s within South Warwickshire. Key areas of our work focus around initiating and setting up community support groups, providing free activities, music, friendship, carer information and fun, all provided by wonderful trained volunteers.
