Living Later Life Well Project

Living Later Life Well is a community project based at Trinity Methodist Church, aiming to reduce social isolation and improve wellbeing in people aged 60+, living in Barton upon Humber and the surrounding villages. We work alongside existing services to identify and support older people who would benefit from our support and who would like to take part in activities, get out of the house and meet others.

The project helps older people to improve their wellbeing and reduce loneliness, with a programme of activities throughout the week, from Pilates to guitar club, arts and craft sessions to coffee mornings, table tennis to chair exercise. We run Live Music Mornings and lunch clubs, regional trips and much more.

In addition, we offer befriending, mental health support, signposting to other services and activities, and our staff and volunteers crucially provide a ‘listening ear’, a cuppa and company for people who otherwise might stay at home and feel disconnected from their community. We receive referrals from Social Prescribers at the local GP surgeries, other services and also through word-of-mouth.

The project makes a huge difference to people’s lives. People feel happier, more confident, more valued and positive about the future – one lady who attends several sessions a week says “I feel like I’m living again”. Our activities and support gives people the opportunity to learn new skills and hobbies, improve their health and fitness, make new friends, and ultimately take ownership over their wellbeing.

Loneliness is seen by many as one of the largest health concerns that we face – it affects people of all ages, but is particularly prevalent in older people. The Living Later Life Well project exists to reduce barriers to participation, and support our vulnerable older community to reconnect with each other and enrich their lives.

If you have a friend, neighbour or family member who is feeling isolated and would appreciate contact to help them engage in community activities, please get in contact and we will be happy to have a chat.
