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
