A charity has been supporting elderly people in the community for more than 30 years.

Age Concern Romsey & District, formed in 1989, helps older people stay independent, active and connected.

The small independent charity, based in a hall in Linden Road, Romsey, is run by a team of dedicated volunteers.

The charity not only provides practical support but also promotes wellbeing, companionship and a sense of belonging.

The charity offers numerous services and activities for people with varying needs and interests.

The team provides guidance and can connect people to local organisations and services for additional support.

A significant part of the charity’s offering is a variety of friendly, inclusive activities held throughout the week.

These include chair-based exercise classes, regular lunch clubs, social afternoons and fun activities like kurling and bingo.

Creative sessions such as art classes are also available.

All these activities are open to everyone, offering a chance to meet new people, stay active and enjoy time in a supportive environment.

The charity encourages community support in the form of volunteering and donations.

Anyone interested in volunteering or donating is encouraged to contact the charity.

The organisation welcomes anyone who could benefit from their services or wants to be part of the community life.

Age Concern Romsey & District can be contacted via its website or by calling 01794 518817.
