Age Concern Blackburn with Darwen

Over 30 years of working with older people in Blackburn and Darwen

Our mission is…"To work with local older people in all their diversity to identify and articulate their views, needs and choices and, where appropriate, to provide quality and flexible services."

and our vision is… "For all older people in Blackburn with Darwen to have respect, information and opportunities for them to be able to live the life they choose."

To meet these aims we work with more than 10,000 local people aged over 50 each year to provide quality services, volunteering opportunities and campaign to influence local and national decision-makers and service providers.

As an independent local charity, in order to achieve these aims we are always in need of financial support.  We rely on fundraising, through donations and legacies to enable us to continue to provide the range of services available.

Haiti Appeal – your donation can save a life

Haiti’s worst earthquake for two centuries has devastated one of the world’s poorest countries. Older people will potentially be among the worst affected because many will be too frail to overcome the trauma and will be unable to fend for themselves.

Your chance to make a will

We are offering older people over 60 who have not made a Will the opportunity to do so in both Blackburn and Darwen. In Blackburn we have joined with local firm of solicitors, Roebuck’s, to offer a Will-Making session on Tuesday 9th March at Age Concern’s office, King Street, Blackburn. Older people will be able to see a qualified Solicitor who will take instructions for their Will and offer advice. This service costs £50 (plus VAT) for a basic will. In Darwen we have joined together with Darwen Law Chambers to provide a Will-Making session on Wednesday 10th March at Darwen Law Chambers’ offices at 38 Railway Road, Darwen, BB3 2RJ.
