Age UK Wigan Borough

Age UK Wigan Borough is a local charity which provides high quality services designed to offer support to older people across the Borough. In doing this, we help older people live their lives as they would choose. Our services include Information, Advice and Advocacy, practical support including Handyperson and Home Help, our Bright Days activities programme and befriending.

In 2018-19, we supported older people in Wigan Borough to gain £1,778,852 in benefits, had 4,614 attendances at Bright Days activities and made 943 repairs and alternations to improve people's living conditions.

Comments people have made include:

'Absolutely wonderful service.  They helped me in my hour of need!  I'm very ill, had no heating at all due to breakdown of home system.  Within hours two radiators were installed.'

'It's priceless to know there is someone for you when you are in troubled times and can't cope or deal with the situation.'

'The difference this money [benefits] has made is like a ton of bricks lifted from my back.  A sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart.'
