Vision Statement:
To create an inclusive community where neighbours look out and care for each other
Mission Statement:
We enrich the lives of older people and people with disabilities living in Fulham by providing practical help and creating opportunities to:
- Contribute to society; - Connect with others; and - Live life to the fullest
Our projects aim to reduce the impact of older people's concerns raised in the 2019 local Older People’s Commission. These related mainly to: access to services; loneliness and isolation; and poverty and deprivation.
Our projects also keep in mind, the 2017 Index For Wellbeing in Later Life (Age UK and University of Southampton) which found:
- Meaningful engagement, whether through social, creative or physical activity, contributes over 20% to an individual’s sense of wellbeing in later life;
- Creative and cultural participation contributes most significantly to wellbeing (out of 40 indicators); and
- Physical activity was the second highest factor
Gardening Support - Announcement
We will not be taking on any more gardening jobs until the 1st of November 2024.
This is due to a high demand and long waiting list for gardening support. We will work diligently to work through the current jobs and accept new gardening jobs following the 1st of November 2024. For any questions please speak to a staff member.
