Age UK are running a couple of services they'd like you to know about....and promote to your clients, of course!
The first is their Make & Mend sessions, held on Fridays from 9:30-12 at the Crossacres Community Centre in Wythenshawe. These sessions offer people the chance to socialise and meet new people at the same time as working on practical projects of their choice, all supported by experienced staff.

The second is their East Manchester dementia friendly swimming sessions for people suffering with dementia and those who care for them. These will be starting on the 7th May and will then run every Thursday at 10am-12noon at East Manchester Leisure Centre. They understand that
people attending may not want to swim the first time that they attend due to
nerves, unfamiliarity etc. Therefore, there will be a few extra staff on hand to show potential participants around the facility to help
familiarise them and their carer and go through any procedures or answer any
questions they might have. There is no pressure to get into the pool in week 1 if they
don’t feel ready. For more details of the sessions, click here
