Social isolation is a big issue particularly for elderly or disabled people. Many of our guests live alone and may not see family and friends as often as they would like. Loneliness can have serious effects on a person’s health.
Age Concern Chelmsford exists to support people within the local community, connecting them to each other over some healthy, nutritious food or through other social events. This can be the key to staying active, continuing to enjoy life and living independently.
Working from our own premises since the 1960’s, our on-site chef provides a delicious home-cooked two course hot meal (main and dessert) Monday to Friday every week.
We hold other activities in the fully-accessible Centre during the week, such as seated exercise, fun quizzes and singing.  We also arrange occasional members’ outings throughout the year.
