Age Concern Hampshire Welcomes Corporate Support from Lawcomm Solicitors

Lawcomm
Age Concern Hampshire has welcomed the generous support of Lawcomm Solicitors, who played a key role in helping to deliver festive celebrations for older people across the county this Christmas.
 
As part of the partnership, members of the Lawcomm team joined clients and staff at Lockswood Care and Wellbeing Centre on Wednesday 17th December, volunteering their time to support the Christmas lunch and take part in festive activities, helping to create a warm, joyful atmosphere for those attending.
 
In addition to volunteering on the day, Lawcomm Solicitors’ financial support enabled Age Concern Hampshire to provide Christmas gifts, festive food and entertainment across all four of its Care and Wellbeing Centres, ensuring that hundreds of older people were able to enjoy a special celebration during what can be a particularly isolating time of year.
 
Age Concern Hampshire’s Care and Wellbeing Centres provide vital support to older people across Hampshire, including those living with dementia, helping to reduce loneliness, promote social connection and support wellbeing throughout the year.
 
Brogan Rehill, Head of Fundraising and Volunteer Services at Age Concern Hampshire, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Lawcomm Solicitors for their generosity and hands-on support this Christmas. Their funding helped us deliver festive celebrations across all of our centres, and having their team volunteer alongside our staff at Lockswood added something really special to the day. Partnerships like this make a genuine difference to our clients and help us continue delivering vital services at a time when demand is higher than ever.”

Volunteers support local charity by Revamping the 20+ year old building at Lockswood Care and Wellbeing Centre in Locks Heath. 

Simply Health

Age Concern Hampshire is delighted to announce that Simplyhealth employees have generously volunteered to redecorate one of the offices at the Lockswood Care and Wellbeing Centre in Locks Heath. This act of corporate volunteering not only brightened the space that was in dire need of some ‘TLC’ after over 20 years but also highlighted the importance of community engagement in supporting local charities. 

A dedicated team of Simplyhealth employees transformed the office, creating a welcoming and uplifting environment for the staff and visitors at the Lockswood Care & Wellbeing Centre. The centre plays a vital role in providing support for older individuals who require extra assistance or are living with dementia, offering services that promote social inclusion, wellbeing, and independence. The centre also acts as a lifeline for unpaid carers by offering safe and secure respite for their loved ones. 

“We are extremely grateful to Simplyhealth for their time, effort, and generosity in helping to revitalise our centre,” said Brogan Rehill, Head of Fundraising & Volunteer Services at Age Concern Hampshire. ” Corporate volunteering like this really makes a difference, and we’d love to hear from other companies who want to help create a positive impact in their community as well as offering their teams a great opportunity to make a real difference.” 

“We were delighted to help recently by volunteering our time at the Centre. Our team really enjoyed rolling their sleeves up and making a positive difference. All Simplyhealth colleagues have three days per year to spend time volunteering in our local community, helping to improve access to healthcare locally. As well as finding volunteering activities incredibly rewarding, it’s a great way to recognise and celebrate the wonderful work of charities like Age Concern Hampshire and the important support they provide. This was our way of saying thank you and we can’t wait to return”. Charlotte Cook, ESG Lead
