Salford outreach

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People over the age of 60 living in Salford can benefit from our information and support scheme. It’s a bit like a short course – which runs for 2 and 1/2 hours every week for 7 weeks. 

You’ll get all sorts of information, advice and support from services including:

• Salford Welfare Rights Bureau
• Greater Manchester Police
• Salford Social Services (sensory, rehabilitation and mobility teams)
• Age Concern
• Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service
• Salford Community Health
• Local Pensions Service
• Salford Ring & Ride
• Television switch over

And we will give you useful continuing information and support through our weekly information, support and activity groups.

“It has been a miracle for me finding this course. I’ve just moved to the area and I had no idea what was available or what I was entitled to.  The course has inspired me to carry on doing things.”

 

Groups  

We have four groups that meet regularly in Salford for information, support and activities including an annual spring party.  We can arrange transport if you need it.

• Winton – Westwood Community Centre, Tuesday   2pm - 4pm
• Swinton – Wardley Community Centre, Wednesday   1.30pm - 3.30pm
• Walkden – Walkden Gateway, Friday   1.30pm – 3.30pm
• Pendleton – Pendleton Gateway, 3rd Tuesday of the month   10.30am – 12pm

“I have no family, I’m all on my own. When my sight started to go it was very hard.  The group has been so helpful – it’s good to meet other people and it’s been a real support to me.”
