Two big-hearted Sandwell youngsters have been following in their mother’s footsteps by supporting Agewell during the latest lockdown.

Last year we received donations from the Severn Trent Community Fund, Sandwell Ladies Football Club and Groundwork UK / Tesco Bags of Help, as well as a number of donations in memory of a loved one. We are very grateful for this financial support which helps us to continue our vital work supporting older people across Sandwell.

Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Agewell has been providing wellbeing telephone support calls and online exercise classes for older people across Sandwell. Here’s some feedback from two of our clients which shows the difference we’ve been making...

A huge shout out to all Agewell staff who are volunteering as Covid Marshalls to support the vaccination programme at Whiteheath Medical Centre in Oldbury.

The Winter 2020-21 Agewell Magazine is now available and is packed with news of how we've been supporting older people across Sandwell during Covid-19.

Staying active throughout these difficult times continues to be a huge challenge for older people, but Agewell is here to help every step of the way.

Agewell is delighted to be a part of the Sandwell Community Offer which is a partnership of local organisations who deliver wellbeing support services to residents across Sandwell. 

Did you know there are some 3,700 people in Sandwell living with dementia currently? 

NHS Sandwell and West Birmingham Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) are calling out to businesses, organisations and members of the community for donations of used or unused mobile tablets/tablet computers to help provide a video calling service, which will allow those living with dementia to see the faces of loved ones during this difficult time.

Agewell is delighted to be working in partnership with Crossroads and Dementia Pathfinders to deliver this new service across Sandwell for people living with dementia and their families, carers and supporters.
