Who we are
We are the Agewell Older People’s Champions. This means that if you live in Sandwell and are aged 50 and over, we’re here to help you.
What we do
You may be feeling lonely and need some support in getting out and about. You may want to join a group or try a new activity but don’t know where to start. You may need some support with a health, housing or transport issue, or something else.
Whatever your issues or concerns we can help. We have a wealth of knowledge and experience of activities and services that exist for older people. Why not give us a try?
How we can help
• We challenge the attitudes that exist towards older people and act as role models
• We offer support and advice and encourage older people to be more active socially and to get involved with their community
• We work with all older people in Sandwell whatever their needs
• We accept referrals from relatives, friends and neighbours who may be a little anxious about an older person
• We solve problems by putting you in touch with the services and organisations who will be able to help, supporting you throughout the whole process
• We can come to you at home to talk through how we can be of help
• We promote the Healthy Passport Scheme
