💌 Not long left to post your Christmas cards in the Merry Mailbox located in Ealing Library at @EalingShopping.
Just pick up a card, write a message full of Christmas cheer, pop it in the postbox and we’ll make sure that an older person in the local community receives it 🎄
We were very kindly donated desktops by @msigaming earlier this year & we gifted these to some of our service users.
Our Digital Inclusion Manager, Venessa, helped install the devices.
Thank you MSI, these computers will make a big difference in the lives of these older people

To mark #GrandparentsDay, taking place this Sunday, we asked our Age UK colleagues to tell us about their grandparents, and reflect on how they continue to inspire them 💜

Some of our #Befriending service users had a great time at #Acton Fire Station’s summer party last month. Thank you to Kim and to all the team for organising the day, it was so much fun. Great summer memories to look back on ☀️🎉
We’re hearing from so many older people about the impact of not receiving up to £300 this winter.
Help us to save the Winter Fuel Payment.

We’re very disappointed the Government has voted to cut the Winter Fuel Payment but they still have a responsibility to struggling pensioners.
We won’t stop campaigning for people like Lalita and Derek who need support this #winter.

Another great day out! Last month some of our Age UK #Ealing Wellbeing Day Centre service users enjoyed a lovely pub carvery lunch at the Mylett Arms and a visit to Little St Mary’s Church, #Perivale ❤️
