Introduction .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Welcome to Age UK Buckinghamshire and thank you for picking up our Guide to Services

............................................................................................................................

We are a successful independent local charity working for all older people in our county, and effective and accountable in what we do. As an organisation we make a real difference to the lives of older people and are responsive to their needs. We are dedicated to ensuring the wellbeing and empowerment of older people in Buckinghamshire. We believe in older people remaining independently in their own homes safely and with dignity. To support you in doing so, we offer a range of services. This brochure will tell you about the services we currently offer, and how you can get in touch to find out more. We are always researching our local area to determine the need and the resources to implement further valuable services to improve later life. For further information on any of our services please call 01296 431911 Age UK Buckinghamshire 145 Meadowcroft AYLESBURY Bucks HP19 9HH We are open Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Friday 9am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 4pm t 01296 431911 f 01296 330783 e age@ageukbucks.org.uk Visit our website: www.ageukbucks.org.uk Registered Charity No. 1139423 Registered Company No. 7101195

Information & Advice .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

We have a telephone Information & Advice service to provide answers to help older people, their carers and relatives. No matter what the query, if we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help you ourselves, we will refer you to someone who can. Our Helpline is open from 9.30am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 12.30pm Monday to Friday.

Welfare Benefits ............................................................................................................................

Are you claiming all your entitlements? We can help you find out. Contact us for a welfare benefit check. We can visit you in your own home to give advice and to fill in complicated benefit application forms on your behalf. Ring to speak to an adviser.

Befriending ............................................................................................................................

At Age UK Bucks we provide a befriending service for those older people who are isolated and lonely. This service is delivered by volunteers who give up at least an hour a week of their time for weekly visits of friendship and support. The aim is to enhance the quality of life and we aim to prevent deterioration in mental health often associated with isolation and loneliness. This is achieved by giving each client undivided attention with particular emphasis on listening skills. Befriending volunteers visit an older person in their own home and enjoy a friendly chat, ideally sharing a mutual interest. We try to match the volunteers to the older person very carefully, so that both parties get the utmost enjoyment from the relationship. We are always looking for volunteers to join our team of over 300 throughout Bucks. Volunteers receive full training before they are matched to an older person. To find out more about our service, or to have a chat about volunteering with us - please contact our Community Services Manager on 01296 431911.

Phone a Friend

Day Care

............................................................................................................................

This is a means of maintaining contact with a friendly voice once a week when you are feeling alone. Referral to this service is via the befriending co-ordinator once a client has been assessed for our befriending service..

The Day Care Service provides a good day out for older vulnerable people at two small community based centres in Aylesbury Vale. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity to meet and make new friends, enjoy the company of others with a freshly cooked lunch and take part in a variety of activities.

This regular contact is well received with many clients expressing their thanks to our staff, who are able to offer a friendly ear to the day to day worries and problems of older people.

Our day care volunteer team have been awarded The Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award for Voluntary Service 2012. We provide innovative day opportunities for older people with levels of mental health difficulties. This also provides many carers with an invaluable period of regular respite. Regular day opportunities are available in Wing on Thursdays and at Steeple Claydon on Tuesdays. Transport can be arranged. Our aim is to enable older people with memory impairment to improve their quality of life and to help them maintain their independence and continue living in their own homes for as long as possible. We try to cater for all interests at our clubs and offer a range of activities. For more information and to access the service please call us. What a difference a day makes!

Independence at Home .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Handyperson

Gardening

If you have simple DIY jobs around the house that need doing, we are here to help.

If you can no longer cut your own grass or keep your garden tidy, our Garden Maintenance service is ideal for you. Our gardeners can come as often as you need.

............................................................................................................................

There are lots of older people who want to stay in their own home for as long as possible before having to give up their independence and go into care. Over 40% of people going into residential care homes do so because they cannot do simple chores and NOT because of health issues. This is not only a terrible loss to them but also a great cost to the state. By performing a few DIY jobs for someone it helps maintain their independence for as long as possible. Our Painting & Decorating service will give fixed price quotations for larger jobs. The service is not intended to provide complex or skilled labour solutions to problems and does not replace qualified trades people.

............................................................................................................................

Hairdressing ............................................................................................................................

Rather than you have to travel to get your hair done, our mobile hairdressers can cut and prepare your hair for that special event or just simply to keep up your appearance. Therapeutic Care Service ............................................................................................................................

This massage service promotes a sense of well-being and relaxation through gentle massage of head, shoulder, hands and feet. Seamless Relocation ............................................................................................................................

Neat Feet (Toe Nail Cutting) If you struggle to cut your toenails we can refer you to one of our trained footcare agents who will visit you at home to assess your needs and provide a regular cutting service.

If you are thinking of moving, but not sure where to start, you will want to know that help is at hand. This service provides a complete package of supporting care to help older people move home. This can be as much or as little as you want.

............................................................................................................................

Computer Training

Independent Financial Advice

............................................................................................................................

We provide individual tuition for older people in their own homes, tailor-made to your own needs and using your own computer.

We work with trusted independent financial advisers to help you make the most of your money. We also have arrangements with solicitors should you have a legal issue to deal with.

Home Cleaning

............................................................................................................................

If you are finding it difficult to cope with housework, this service will provide cleaners as regularly as you want, and includes laundry and ironing if needed.

To find out more about any of these services please contact Age UK Bucks on 01296 431911.

How you can help us .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Each year Age UK Buckinghamshire assists over 8000 local older people. To continue to do this we need your support both practically and financially.

Volunteering ............................................................................................................................

If you like to make a real difference by what you do, become a volunteer to help older people. People of all ages say it’s great fun and very rewarding. Whether you give an hour or two a month, or a day each week, you could help us deliver our vital services. We can put your skills to good use. You could help by being a befriending volunteer who spends an hour a week visiting a lonely, housebound older person. Or you could be trained to help older people claim the welfare benefits to which they are entitled, which could make the difference between them having a warm home this winter or staying in bed wrapped in blankets. Volunteers can help at our day care centres as hands-on training is provided, or you could assist in the office or fundraising or on the events team. Our volunteers receive training and are reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses. Whether you are ready to use your existing skills or learn new ones ring us at 01296 431911 or Email age@ageukbucks.org.uk

Events ............................................................................................................................

Your help in organising events will assist us to maintain and expand our services for local older people. If you have a few hours to spare we need your support, and it’s great fun! You could run your own event, support our events, or even be sponsored in aid of Age UK Bucks if you take up a walk, running or swimming challenge.

Donations ............................................................................................................................

Any amount can be given at any time, whether it is a once off donation, taking out a standing order or direct debit, payroll giving, gifts in kind, or donations in memory of a loved one. And remember if you sign a gift aid form we can add on 25p from the Inland Revenue for every £1 you give without you having to do a thing more.

Legacies

............................................................................................................................

A gift in your Will helps us to be here, day after day. We make sure that no-one is forgotten or left to struggle on their own. We’re here to listen, support, advise and help people to feel independent and secure in their own homes. Leaving a gift in your Will is a way to ensure we can keep making life better for older people. Without your generosity, we may not always be able to be there.

Products .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

We can also help you with a range of products and services especially designed for those in the older age group.

Aids for Home ............................................................................................................................

IBB Solicitors is West London’s leading law firm. We are a dynamic and forward-thinking legal practice capable of handling complex legal work, and can trace our history back to 1774. We provide expertise in almost every area of the law. We have 27 partners, 92 qualified lawyers and fee earners, and 196 employees in total, (including consultants) working across four main practice areas – Real Estate, Commercial, Private Client and Community Legal Services. Drawing up a will is the best way to ensure that your wishes are carried out as you intended after you’ve gone. A will also protects your loved ones and family and minimises the financial worry during what is an upsetting and stressful time. At IBB Solicitors, our wills, trusts and probate solicitors are here to help you plan for your family’s future. Dying without a will could create a raft of problems for those left behind. Many assume that their estate will automatically go to their closest family, but if you die ‘intestate’ (without a will), that may not necessarily be the case. Your heirs may not receive what you wish to pass onto them, or your assets could be reduced through inheritance tax. Planning ahead during your lifetime means that you can ensure that your estate is distributed properly. Our trust solicitors can also advise you on the best way to preserve your family’s wealth by making cash gifts during your lifetime, for example, or protecting assets in trusts. For those who are not married, we can also help with advice to ensure that your partner receives your legacy and is not subject to challenges to probate after you’ve gone. If you still haven’t finalised your last wishes or would like to write a new will, want to leave money in trust for a young relative, or are struggling with probate issues, call us on 01895 207269

If you can’t make decisions for yourself, who will?

Depend on us You can depend on us to help those who depend on you. Give yourself the peace of mind of knowing that you’ve put everything in place to ensure that your dependants will be looked after when the time comes. Talk to our experienced solicitors about trusts, wills, Court of Protection and lasting powers of attorney. Alison Stawarz alison.stawarz@ibblaw.co.uk You can’t know what life has in store, but 01895 207269 with a Lasting Power www.ibblaw.co.uk of Attorney you can plan ahead to make sure your wishes are followed if you lose capacity.
