Sometimes, an hour is all it takes to make someone feel a little less alone ❤️

A friendly conversation. A shared cup of tea. Helping out at an activity. Simply taking the time to listen.

These might feel like small things, but to an older person experiencing loneliness or isolation, they can mean so much.

By volunteering with Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale, you can give your time in a way that works for you while helping older people in our community feel more connected, valued and supported.

Whether you can spare an hour here and there or would like to get involved more regularly, your time can make a real difference.

Could you spare a little time to make someone’s day? ❤️

You might start volunteering because you want to give something back. But that’s only half the story. ❤️

You might meet someone you’d never normally cross paths with.

Hear stories from a completely different generation.

Discover you have far more in common than you expected.

Share a laugh, learn something new or simply become a familiar face someone looks forward to seeing.

Volunteering isn’t only about what you can give. It’s about the connections you make along the way.

So instead of asking, “What could I offer?”…

Maybe the question is:

“Who could I meet?”

✨ Women Connect - Networking. Inspiring. Empowering.

What a brilliant afternoon yesterday, celebrating International Day of Older Persons at our Women Connect event! ❤️

We brought women together for an afternoon of connection, conversation, and inspiration, with fantastic talks from our CEO, Maxine Johnson, and Rayner Mayers on our theme of becoming bolder as we grow older.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their stories and helped raise vital funds for Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale.

And a special thank you to Monmouthshire Building Society for kindly supporting the event and helping us bring Women Connect to life.

Here’s to being bolder at every age! ✨

Today is International Day of Older Persons ❤️

This year’s theme is “The Age of Longevity: Rethinking Systems for Longer Lives.”

We’re living longer than ever before - and that’s something to celebrate. But longer lives should also mean having the opportunity to live well, stay connected, have your voice heard and remain part of your community.

At Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale, we see every day the experience, stories, humour, knowledge and friendship older people bring to our communities.

We also know how important it is that the right support is there when it’s needed - helping people maintain their independence, build connections and continue doing the things that matter to them.

So today, we’re celebrating older people across Cardiff and the Vale while looking towards a future where longer lives are lived with choice, connection and dignity.

Because it’s not simply about adding years to life - it’s about making those years count.

Jonathan is taking on the Cardiff Half for Age Connects Cardiff & the Vale! ❤️🏃‍♂️

Jonathan is a fantastic supporter of Age Connects, not only through fundraising but also as a volunteer befriender.

Through volunteering, he’s seen first-hand just how important companionship and connection can be for older people who may be experiencing loneliness or isolation.

Jonathan says:

“Older people deserve to feel valued, listened to and connected to their communities, and I’ve seen the difference Age Connects makes in achieving that.”

That’s why he’s taking on the Cardiff Half once again, with a goal of raising £500 to help us continue supporting older people across Cardiff and the Vale.

Every donation, big or small, will help Jonathan get closer to his target ❤️

Falls are not an inevitable part of getting older.

This Falls Awareness Week, we’re sharing simple steps to help reduce the risk of falls and support people in staying safe, confident, and independent.

🏠 Check your home - look out for potential trip and slip hazards and make sure your home is well lit.

💊 Manage your medication - some medications can cause dizziness or affect your balance. If you’re concerned, speak to your GP surgery or pharmacist.

🚻 Notice changes in how often you use the toilet - getting up frequently, particularly at night or rushing to go, can increase the risk of a fall.

🍎 Eat well - a balanced diet with enough protein can help maintain energy and muscle strength.

👟 Stay active - regular activity can help improve strength, fitness and balance.

💧 Drink enough fluid - dehydration can leave you feeling light-headed or dizzy.

🦯 Check your walking aids - make sure walking sticks, frames and other aids are safe and in good condition.

🦶 Look after your feet - problems with your feet or footwear can affect your balance and increase the risk of tripping or falling.

👁️ Take care of your eyes and ears - changes to eyesight and hearing can both affect balance, so regular checks are important.

Small changes can make a big difference. If you or someone you know is worried about falling, speak to your GP surgery for advice and information about local support.

Together, we can help reduce falls and support older people to live safely and independently.
