ALDI LEYLAND

CNOS is a local group initially set up to help the community as a result of the covid-19 pandemic in extremely difficult and unprecedented times. I work with a small team of volunteers to assist getting essential supplies to the most vulnerable, isolated, disadvantaged and elderly members of the Leyland and surrounding communities. From this we have developed services to become a community hub within our area. We support the community with a wide range of services, sessions, groups and projects. Some are open to all such as the Community Fridge or shop and others are tailored to specific groups such as Pre-School playgroups, Youth Support Initiative. This is not for profit and on a voluntary basis.

Since 1981 Age Concern have grown from strength to strength in our mission to help, the ‘older generation’ live well and age well. We are proud to help members of the Preston and South Ribble communities by running people led services through dedicated staff and volunteers. Service include Dementia Day Care centres, Foot Care, Befriending and wellbeing to a Home Help service helping people remain independent and at home. These services along the various activities hosted at our friendship club and retail shops keep help at arm’s length for those that need it most. All year round Age Concern are proud to offer an Access to Benefits service that works with individuals by improving take up of welfare benefits in their own homes. This Service is solely funded through Age Concerns charitable income. For every pound invested, Access to Benefits generates £11.50 of income into the service user’s household. Through Volunteering, we allow people to build, develop and maintain skills no matter their age! We are a specialist charity who is passionate about pioneering Dementia Services, and befriend over 300 people every week.
