UPDATE - Summer 2021
                               Welcome to Summer everyone. 
 It’s been a very hard 16 months for everyone, and we’ve all had to adjust to the ever changing conditions of the pandemic but hopefully we’re on the way to being able to live with it now.  We had to stop our day services and activities but we worked hard to keep in touch with all our members by making hundreds of phone calls every week as well as dozens of ‘doorstep’ visits’.

We delivered hundreds of food parcels to those in need and were fortunate to have a wonderful team of volunteers helping us throughout the lockdowns both with phonecalls and deliveries. More recently, we have been visiting everyone at home to touch base and show a friendly face and to let everyone know our new FREE phone number – 0800 1577783 available 7 days a week - 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday and 10am to 5pm at the weekends. 

Now that restrictions are easing, we’re reducing our daily calls to members and getting back to our routine of visiting those most in need, but we’re just at the end of the phone if members want to talk about anything! Just call the FREE phone number. 

Some great news is our day services are re-opening. The Brixton Club is at a new venue, The Holy Rosary Church hall in Brixton Road. We will be opening there on Wednesday 18th August.  Our New Cross Club is at the same venue at All Saints Community hall in New Cross Road and we will be opening there on Tuesday 7th September.  We are still trying to find a venue in Bermondsey.

As the restrictions change we have a full guide on this website just click through below. With these changes everyone has to adapt to a new way of life, some have experienced symptoms of the virus or have lost loved ones to it, while others are worried about themselves, vulnerable friends and relatives. There is no right or wrong way of dealing with the situation but if you need to talk to someone, please give us a call FREE  0800 1577783 .  If you know of someone who is not currently known to us but you think they may need some help, please give us their details and we will get in touch with them. 

Our community service comprises an experienced team of outreach and community workers, a wonderful team of volunteer befrienders visiting isolated and vulnerable people in their own homes and in care homes, a hospital visiting service, pub outreach scheme and a FREE advice and information service (appointment only).  Coronavirus has changed the way we offer our service for the moment but we are available on 020 7237 5841
