Ageing well in Brighton & Hove
There are all sorts of resources available for older adults in Brighton & Hove through existing services or brand-new offers from Age UK.
Older People’s Walk-in Hub
The hub provides information, advice and support on a range of topics - everything cost-of-living support, to help at home and care planning, to benefits checks, getting a blue badge and much more.
You can walk in to get information and advice from the Age UK team including booking an appointment with their Senior Benefits Advisor.
Did you know £23 Billion in benefits go unclaimed every year? This is usually due to people not knowing they’re entitled to claim. Last year, Age UK supported people, to claim £4.5 million, straight back into the pockets of older people.
They also have Digital volunteers who can support with learning digital devices and problem solving.
Age UK are working on putting some workshops and events on in 2025, with more information to follow soon! Keep an eye on their website for updates.

Care at Home
In addition to their Help at Home team, providing support with shopping and housework, Age UK have just launched their new Care at Home team in Brighton & Hove.
Whether the need is personal care, assistance with daily tasks, or simply companionship, their team is here to help.
Care at Home services can support in everyday life and helping older residents live comfortably at home.
Coming soon: a new Dementia Assessment Service
More information on this new service will be shared soon. In the meantime, Age UK already offer support at Tower House in Brighton on Tuesdays.
They believe that with the best care and support, people can live well with dementia and in older age. Age UK aims to help people maintain their skills and independence in a social and friendly environment, while allowing carers a relaxing break.
