Significant events

• “2024/25 was again a busy and challenging year with our services supporting more older people who are experiencing increasing multiple challenges with physical and mental health and increasing numbers living with long term conditions including dementia, along with those struggling with the cost of living challenges. We have seen further increased demand for the Advice and Information service and all services are also supporting more people with complex issues, so whilst maintaining our core service offer we have also continued to develop new offers in response to what older people have told us they need with a particular focus on mental health and wellbeing support. We have also continued to explore how digital technology can support us to deliver services and make best use of our resources, whilst still retaining that all important face to face and person-centred approach we know so many older people need and appreciate.”
• “We are working in ever increasing financially challenging times with income levels from all sources under significant pressure and increases in expenditure resulting from changing national policy and therefore beyond our control. We are grateful for the support from our funders, donors and supporters who continue to provide vital resources to enable us to support more local older people, and we also seek to continue to diversify and expand our income generation activities to support organisational sustainability, including through new charged for service offers.”
