Age UK Rotherham

Temperatures are set to soar again 😎 so remember to check on the older people in your communities.
As we get older our bodies don't cope as well with extreme temperatures, so family, friends and neighbours might need an extra bit of support to stay well in the heatwave. ☀️🌞

Age UK Rotherham's Thursday Coffee Morning group held a special celebration this week to mark the 100th birthday of one of their members.
The group, who meet at Rotherham Social Prescribing Hub every week, surprised Joan with cards and gifts and there were balloons and party food as well as a cake.
Joan, who travels to the club on community transport enjoyed the celebrations and brought her card from the King and Queen to show her friends at the club.
Happy Birthday Joan!!
