Age Concern Wigan Borough

Age Concern Wigan Borough is well placed to explore new ways of working and innovative responses to the identified needs of older people. Working with older people and with a range of interested agencies across the Borough, a number of projects are usually being pursued at any one time.

Current development projects are:

Research into Isolation and Loneliness

Our Legacy Project

Computer Courses

Continuing Care Support Work

Gardening Service

Shopping Service

Working with others, the organisation is also interested in the establishment of a major programme of development that would incorporate a Mature Enterprise Centre to cater for the varied aspirations of people over 50, a stronger voluntary and community sector presence in the town centre through a shared building and an integrated approach to the development of preventative services and the meeting of low level needs.

The organisation is committed to ways in which these development opportunities can become sustainable service based responses to the identified needs of older people across the Borough.
