Southwark Pensioners Centre is a charity that supports older people to enjoy healthy, independent, active, in touch and fulfilling lives. At our community resource centre, open as a shop front Mondays to Fridays, 9.30am to 4pm, we work to promote choice, opportunity and quality of life for people aged 50. As a membership organisation, we also welcome individuals and groups to join the centre. Individual membership includes free or low cost services and activities plus our One in 5 newsletter. Our offer to older people is as follows: 1. A Health and Wellbeing programme of activities – ranging from health talks, to physical, creative and health activities such as chair based exercise, art classes, singing, social clubs, holidays and day trips. 2. An Information, Advice and Guidance service providing help with welfare benefits, debt, housing, consumer issues, transport, fuel poverty and increasing income. 3. A Getting and Staying Online programme that helps older people through 1-1 support, a computer club and eventually through Techy Teas and regular short five week courses to be digitally active. 4. Campaigning through the Southwark Pensioners Action Group on on health, pensions, housing and social care. 5. Consulting through the Southwark Pensioners Forum on any council policies or consultations that affect the lives of older people. 6. A Reaching Out programme designed to work with other locally based older people’s groups to offer a range of activities.

Story

People have asked me what I'm going to do with my time when I finish my four year stint as a Southwark Councillor. The list is very long. But why not throw a marathon into the mix? 

I've only had 6 weeks to train but the big day is almost upon us. Now I need YOUR support.  Southwark Pensioners Centre is a great cause, one of this year's chosen Mayor of Southwark's special charities which does excellent work battling loneliness and hardship for local men and womern in our community. Adult social care is one of the greatest - and fast-growing - challenges of modern society and every penny we raise will go a very long way.

Thank you for all your help and support. It means a lot.

Please give generously.
