ADD A LITTLE SPARKLE TO OUR ELDERLY COMMUNITY…
Posted by Devenia Besant on 05 Nov 2024
Age Concern Epsom & Ewell really do a great job supporting the elderly in our community. The local charity offer a number of services including befriending for lonely residents, information and advice, home visits, a hearing aid clinic, medical transport, sunday tea amongst many other events. They rely on donations and support from the local community.
