Age Concern Hampshire Celebrates 40 Years of Service to Older Adults
Hampshire, UK – On Thursday 20 February, 2025, Age Concern Hampshire kicked off their Ruby anniversary celebrations at their Hospital to Home service in Petersfield Hospital. The event was made even more special as Ruby, a patient of the service, celebrated her 100th birthday, tying in perfectly with the ‘Ruby’ theme. This momentous occasion highlighted the invaluable support provided by Age Concern Hampshire in ensuring that older people in the county receive the care and assistance they need.
In partnership with the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, the Hospital to Home service is dedicated to actively engaging with patients during their hospital stay. The service offers tailored support and guidance to ensure a smooth, safe, and timely discharge from the wards to their homes. By addressing individual needs and coordinating essential care, the service helps to reduce hospital readmissions and enables older adults to regain their independence with confidence and security.
Throughout the year, Age Concern Hampshire will be hosting a variety of events to bring together service users, volunteers, supporters, and the wider community. These events will include fundraising activities, awareness campaigns, and celebratory gatherings aimed at acknowledging the contributions of those who have helped the charity thrive over the past four decades.
“As we mark 40 years of supporting older people in Hampshire, we take great pride in the positive impact we have made through our services, including Hospital to Home,” said Brogan Rehill, Head of Fundraising & Volunteering at Age Concern Hampshire. “Our Ruby Anniversary is more than just a reflection on our history—it is an opportunity to engage with our community, celebrate our achievements, and reinforce our commitment to enhancing the lives of older people.”
Founded in 1985, Age Concern Hampshire has been providing services to the older community of Hampshire for 40 years. The charity currently delivers support at their Care & Wellbeing centres throughout the county, as well as Foot Care clinics, Help at Home, Information via their Information Hub, Hospital to Home Services, Community Information Volunteer Services, and a variety of other activities.
