Older People’s Information Directory

Posted by

age uk lambethcare shaped

Age UK Lambeth has compiled an Older People’s Information Directory for older people in Lambeth and Southwark. It contains details of services and support for older people; for use by professionals, service users and their carers.

What is it for?
The aim of the directory is to help health and social care professionals look beyond their immediate sphere of influence, understand service configuration in a new way and keep up with the pace of change. It will enable improvements in support for older people and their carers in relation to preventing and reducing the impact of crises which could result in admittance to acute hospital services or residential care packages. It also aims to promote smaller voluntary and community groups, and some relevant businesses, so that more older people are aware of the support available locally. There is no fee to have an organisation represented on the directory, and Age UK Lambeth will not sell on any information.

How do I use it?
The Older People’s Information Directory is a website designed to make accessing information as simple and straightforward as possible. It is publicly accessible and searchable, or you can also view by category such as “Staying Active”, or in an A-Z list. Each listing can be viewed in more detail with links to related information such as factsheets. Users can also save favourite pages within the Older People’s Information Directory and print or email them to others.
The directory has a collection of various local and national services ranging from housing to social clubs but is initially focussed on the health topics set out by Southwark and Lambeth Integrated Care (dementia, nutrition, falls and infections).

How will it be kept accurate?
The directory has staff dedicated to building up the information on services and checking that the information is up-to-date. There is also an “issue” button alongside each entry so that users of the directory can let staff know of any updates or problems with the entry.

Can I use it now?
Yes – the directory can be accessed through the Age UK Lambeth website homepage or on http://directory.ageuklambeth.org.uk/ You are welcome to use it and feedback on the directory is very welcome.

Please contact Rose Booker on 020 7733 0528 or rose.booker@ageuklambeth.org.uk for further information.

Does private renting in Southwark need to change?

Posted by

0

Southwark Council is proposing to license more properties including shared houses to reduce antisocial behaviour and improve the management and conditions of rented homes. The council s proposing to:

  1. Introducing a scheme which requires some landlords to license their property. We propose to do this in particular areas first where there is more antisocial behaviour. This is called selective licensing.
  2. Make all houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) have a licence no matter how small they are. This is called additional licensing.

Please take five minutes to fill in the questionnaire and tell us what you think at http://www.southwark.gov.uk/talkrent to help shape the future of private renting in Southwark #talkrent. This may affect homes that are let by homeowners on council estates too.

All Southwark residents and workers and visitors are warmly invited to come to a free and fantastically
interesting talk about the previously little known story of the black British community during the First World
War. The Black Poppies story is about heroines and heroes, tragedies and triumphs, love and hate,
journeys across oceans and the start of a new multicultural society here is the UK. Stephen’s Bourne’s
new book about all of this is called Black Poppies. This talk and the accompanying exhibition are being
paid for by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
