Age UK’s campaign is encouraging us all to move more in order to age better.

Whether it's walking, swimming, Tai Chi, yoga or simply moving a little more each day, every bit of movement helps strengthen your future self.

At Age UK Southampton, we are helping people to do just that, be it through seated exercise at our Day Centre, or our online resources - https://buff.ly/nnhd2RY

Act now, and age better. Learn more about the campaign at https://buff.ly/YeHmnkw

This Saturday marked World Parkinson's Day.

We're sharing this from Parkinson's UK to show our support and as a reminder that whether you're living with Parkinson's or caring for someone who is, you don't have to go it alone.

If you'd like to know what support is available locally in Southampton, get in touch with us - https://www.ageuk.org.uk/southampton/about-us/

We love to get everyone involved with a board game at the Day Centre. We recently had a very-tense Jenga session!

Just a reminder that simple activities can spark connection, confidence, and plenty of fun. Why not suggest a board‑game evening with an older person in your family 😊💙

Happy Easter from all of us at Age UK Southampton! 🐣

Wishing a warm and joyful Easter to all the older people, carers, volunteers and supporters who make our work possible across Southampton. We hope you have a lovely Easter 🌷

If you know someone who might be feeling lonely this Easter, a quick phone call or knock on the door can make all the difference. 💙

Thanks to B&Q Portsmouth for such a generous donation of plants to our little garden at Padwell Road. We love having a calming, green-space for our staff and members to enjoy.

We are so excited for all of the gardening we'll be doing this spring! 🌷

We are sharing this helpful info from Age UK - many people in our local community aren’t aware of the travel concessions they may be entitled to. If you’re 60+ or living with a disability, it’s worth checking what support is available.

If you're 60 or over or you have a disability, you might be eligible for public transport concessions – from a senior rail card to a free bus pass.

We recently welcomed our community police officers for a visit to our day centre. They came to find out a bit more about us… and somehow ended up on the dance floor during our entertainment!

The joy that our members, staff and volunteers bring to Padwell Road is clearly contagious! 😊💙
