Age UK Wandsworth
We like that Wandsworth is home to such a diverse and forward-looking community, that does not forget that its older residents have creative appetites and talents, too. We feel that staying creative as we age is of vital importance to the whole community.
We are Age UK Wandsworth, an independent charity dedicated to supporting older residents (60+ years) in the Wandsworth area. Our Community Engagement Programme delivers a wide range of regular activities and events, including physical exercise classes, social gatherings, and creative workshops.
Through our projects, we aim to promote staying active and creative, foster belonging and social connection, and value the stories and contributions of older people.
It is important to us that our projects and partnerships are co-produced and meet the needs of those we serve. To do so, we strive to incorporate our clients’ lived experience in all our work, celebrating their skills, interests, and potential.
As part of the London Borough of Culture 2025, we aim to expand our creative offerings and provide even more opportunities for older community members to engage and thrive.
