“I didn’t realise that Age UK Westminster offered this type of support, am now able to buy the food I need and also heat my home, I will tell my friends about the
wonderful support Age UK Westminster provides." Our information and advice service changed things for one of our clients — a reminder that it's always worth asking.

Sophia is one of our long-standing Telephone Enquiries and Signposting Volunteers, who started her role with us over 3 years ago. Having Sophia as part of our Information & Advice volunteer team has been invaluable. Besides providing general information to our service users, Sophia also often interprets information to many Urdu-speaking callers with limited English who would have struggled to access services because of a language barrier.

Sophia says, “I find my work rewarding! Being able to assist people who struggle to access services offered by the Westminster council.”

With temperatures rising this summer, we want to help you stay safe, well and comfortable during periods of hot weather.

Hot weather can affect anyone, but older people and those with health conditions can be more vulnerable to heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

Here are some simple ways to stay safe during a heatwave:

- Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you do not feel thirsty
- Keep your home cool by closing curtains or blinds during the hottest part of the day
- Open windows when the temperature is cooler, especially in the evening
- Wear loose, lightweight clothing
- Avoid going outside during the hottest hours, usually between 11am and 3pm
- Use a damp cloth or cool pack on your neck and wrists to help cool down

Please also keep an eye on neighbours, friends and relatives who may need extra support during hot weather.

Signs of heat exhaustion can include:

- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Feeling weak or faint
- Heavy sweating
- Nausea or cramps

If someone becomes confused, stops sweating, has difficulty breathing or loses consciousness, this could be heatstroke, which is a medical emergency. Call 999 immediately.

If you need support or advice, please do not hesitate to reach out to a trusted family member, neighbour or healthcare professional.

Take care and stay safe this summer.

“I really enjoy coming to the Age UK Westminster sessions at St
Marylebone Parish Church. They are stimulating (good brain exercise)
and get me out (good physical exercise) both of which are important
for elderly people with memory problems, especially if they live
alone.” — one of our members, on what our dementia service has meant for them. Small things make a big difference. 💛
