We are a successful independent local charity registered in 1972 promoting the welfare of the welfare of the older residents of the Borough. We were originally founded in 1957 as Maidstone Old People’s Welfare Committee.
We believe:
- That older people are entitled to the help that they need to improve their own sense of well being, to promote independence and to have control of their own lives:
- That ‘Ageist’ or negative attitudes can lead to low expectations by older people or carers about what can be achieved:
- That older people should remain free to choose the services they require.
In support of our beliefs we offer the following services:
- Day Care
- Domiciliary Bathing
- Foot Care
- Independent Living Support
- Disability Travel Vouchers
- Computer Classes
- Information and Advice
- Traders list
- Insurance Arranging
- Charity Shop in partnership with Age Concern Enterprises
- Wheelchair hire

A number of organizations support our work through partnership working including Kent County Council Social Services, Maidstone Housing Trust, West Kent Primary care trust, Maidstone Borough Council, Departments of Works and Pensions in Chatham, Hearing Impaired Kent and Age Concern England.
