  • Lily reached her 100th birthday and her fabulous party was attended not just by friends and family but also the Mayor of Houghton Regis. Lily is proudly clutching her birthday card from Buckingham Palace.
  • Many thanks to Peter - one of our trustees - for helping out at our recent lunch. We are always looking for lunch volunteers, even just once or twice a month. If you can help do call our office on 020 8906 3340.
  • Lunch time break after some serious retail therapy at London Colney's shopping centre.
  • May celebrated her birthday at a recent lunch club. Happy birthday May!!
  • Our volunteers get together was a great success. Volunteers give a little of their time every month but it makes a huge difference to our senior citizens. Without them we could not function!

    Father Colin of the Annunciation church has retired. At different times he has been a volunteer, trustee and always an unstinting supporter of our charity. Thank you Father Colin for all your support. We wish you a happy retirement.

  • We don't know how we would cope without our minibus. It enables us to take up to 10 clients on one journey. On our recent trip to Morrisons the bus was so overloaded with shopping we had to employ a seat for the over flow.
  • A wonderful outing for our clients last Saturday to watch a production '9 to 5' by the Mill Hill Musical Theatre Company.
  • Age UK Barnet is hosting a series of free-to-play Scam Bingo games to support local older people to protect themselves against fraud and scams. Helen and Gill from Age UK ran our session last Tuesday.

Lottery Community Fund Grant

Great News! We have received a grant from The National Lottery’s Community Fund to help with our minibus costs for 2023/24. This will be a great help and a big THANK YOU from all our clients.

Social Events and Outings

Join us on one of our special events that can include our regular bingo afternoons and trips to garden centres and places of interest.

Where the use of public transport is difficult for regular clients: senior citizens who routinely use our services. We can provide transportation by minibus to some of our events, such as the lunch clubs. Volunteer drivers also are available to give lifts in their own vehicles to hospitals and GP surgeries.  Find out more

Good foot health is something that many of us take for granted. However, if our feet develop problems they can affect many aspects of our lives. Poor foot health can lead to reduced mobility, which in turn can produce serious physical, mental and social consequences. This is particularly true for older people.

Our service  is designed to keep older people mobile by doing regular nail cutting, treating corns and removing hard skin. Find out more
