Newcastle Active Ageing

The Quality of Life Partnership has developed a series of walks for residents aged 50+. 

• City Centre walks last about an hour and cost £1. The walks take place every week, starting and ending at Grey's Monument. They are ideal for beginners and people who would like a leisurely stroll.
• Local History walks cost £2. They are led by a qualified Green Badge Guide and cover a range of themes around the city. The walks are a great way of combining gentle physical activity while learning more about our lovely city.

Advice and Information on Finance for Older People

Barclays and Help the Aged are working together on a UK wide programme to enable older people to better manage their finances, especially in times of change. The 'Your Money Matters' programme aims to improve the skills, confidence and financial situation of older people by providing basic money management and debt advice. Individual appointments and group awareness sessions can be arranged.

 Newcastle Trades Register

For many older people finding a trades person can be a worry. Not getting the right one can work out costly and be more stressful than necessary. The Newcastle Trades Register can help you to find trades people to carry out repairs and maintenance in your home.
