Welcome to Age Concern Lancashire, working with and for older people in Lancashire.

Strategic PrioritiesStrategic Priorities

Age Concern Lancashire has identified six strategic priorities for the next five years.

Three relate to our work with older people and three for work within our organisations.

In addition we have made the following promises and commitment to older people that Age Concern Lancashire will:

 

  • Treat older people with respect and dignity
  • Value their life experiences
  • Make older age fun, rewarding and something to cherish
  • Provide the best help and information we can when needed

    Our Ambitions for Older People

    We will actively develop and promote well-being initiatives that will help all Lancashire’s older people lead healthy and active lives.

    We will ensure older people have influence over and are actively involved in local decision-making, policy development and service delivery.

    We will ensure older people are fully informed so they have choice and control to live their lives independently and as they choose.

     We will be the leading deliverer of appropriate, responsive, quality services for older people.

     We will be an effective partner that is able to influence strategic planning, promote good practice and challenge discrimination relating to older people.

    We will develop and maintain an organisation with an effective infrastructure to be able to meet the challenges that will provide opportunities and improve the well-being of older people.

  • Consultation re Social Care In Lancashire:Listening EventsConsultation re Social Care In Lancashire:Listening Events

    Three Listening Events were held in June 2008 at Nelson, Skelmersdale and Morecambe

    The purpose was to collect together the views and experiences of older people and carers of the services that support people who are finding it difficult to manage some aspects of their daily living.

    The main discussions that emerged were around subjects such as activities and getting out and about, Footcare/Chiropody, community concerns, how to make contact with people, day care, direct payments, help in the home, lunch clubs, housing, shopping, social isolation and much more.

    The subject which came up most frequently involved the difficulty people sometimes find in  getting information, where to go and who to ask.
