At Rotherfield St Martin...
We believe that age is just a number and that older age should be celebrated
We provide innovative, community-led activities enabling older people to lead active and fulfilled lives
We take time to get to know members of our community so that we can offer targetted support
We provide a community hub where people can drop in for support, advice, or just talk
We are always at the end of the phone
And it’s not just about older people in our community. Through intergenerational work we bring you and old together to transform lives
The challenge...
There are 1.2m chronically lonely people in England, and many more across the rest of the UK, making this a major issue that is now recognised in society today.
Over one million older people over the age of 65+ in the UK say they are always or often lonely.
Loneliness can lead to greater reliance on health and social care services and studies suggest that people with a high degree of loneliness are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.
