Short profile:
Following a healthy diet is the simplest way to take care of yourself and your family. The food choices you make can either help or hinder your body’s ability to stay in good condition for as long as possible. We offer free confidential information and advice on a range of issues affecting older people.
We have a good selection of leaflets, booklets and information sheets for you or your family members, and we can explain options open to you and help you to take appropriate action. We are a small local charity providing support and services to all older people, and those who care for them, living in Southampton.
We promote positive ageing, healthier lifestyles and encourage independent living.
Detailed description:
Age UK has a vision of a world in which older people flourish. We aim to improve later life for everyone through our information and advice, campaigns, products, training and research. A world in which older people flourish is a world in which older people will: be equal citizens with equal rights, have enough money for a secure and decent life, and have access as consumers to the products and services they need at a price they can afford, have access to the healthcare and social care they need, have the opportunity to live healthier longer lives and to enjoy a sense of well-being, live in homes and neighbourhoods that are safe and comfortable and which enable them to lead fulfilling lives, have opportunities to participate and contribute as volunteers, active citizens, good neighbours, family members, and workers, enjoy the benefits of longer life, wherever they are in the world. Growing older doesn’t come with a manual, so if you need information or advice on anything from health to housing, call our free national information line. It's open 365 days a year from 8am to 7pm.
