One of our #volunteers wanted to share her story of how Age Exchange's temporary hub closure due to #Covid19 has affected her, here is what she had to say...

[Age Exchange @Age_Exchange]

The first activity boxes have been delivered to our Virtual Day Care service users, more on the way! Very happily received! Show people living with dementia & their carers that they are not alone, donate here https://t.co/dIdUShmGgb so far you have helped us raise £4526! Thankyou

Great work from @Age_Exchange

[Healthwatch Greenwich @hwgreenwich]

@Age_Exchange has delivered 150 'reminiscence' boxes to vulnerable residents during the pandemic. This is a great idea and should help to improve mental health, mood and engagement of residents with #dementia during this difficult time. #mentalhealth #wellbeing #coronavirus

@Age_Exchange was very sad to hear of the passing of Roy Hudd, a patron since 2007.

With his extensive knowledge and wonderful stories from the history of popular entertainment, Roy loved what we stood for: valuing individual reminiscence and personal memories.

[Age Exchange @Age_Exchange]

We love seeing photos of our virtual day care service users receiving their activity boxes!💜
We appreciate your support & have raised £4706 so far! Together we can show people living with dementia and their carers they are not alone https://t.co/YfxyqjIbCc

They are replicating their services virtually however they face a very difficult time financially, any donations would be so welcome 👇👇

[Age Exchange @Age_Exchange]

We have taken the difficult decision to temporarily close all services. We will not fail the people that we support & will replicate our services through Virtual Day Care. Please show people living with #dementia & their carers that they're not alone https://t.co/Yr4buj04Hx
