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

My name is Micky Simpson; I am the current
​F​an on the Board at Millwall Football Club.

In my role over the past year, I’ve worked with lots of local charities to raise money and profile, through social media and our fans sponsorship deals – all made possible through the support of the fantastic fan base that Millwall Football Club has.

Well, now the Southwark Mayor’s team have been able to offer me a spot in this year’s London Marathon. It’s my turn to lose a few pounds, get fit and run my socks off though this great city of ours, to raise money for one charity that’s very close to the Millwall community; The Southwark Pensioners Centre. It’s a great charity, and I feel privileged to pledge my support to them.

I am aiming to post training updates – there are a number of local athletes that are keen to get me in the gym with their teams, and hurt me in the name of sport 😁

Please, if you can spare a pound or two to pledge your support too, I would be really thankful. Remember, the more money raised means the less opportunity I have to back out of this mammoth challenge! Just kidding!!

Please share my link, and I’d love to see anyone that might be able to come and cheer me on along the way, on 22nd April.

Please wish me luck……………what have I done……….! 😂😂.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
