What is Linkage Plus?
Linkage Plus is an innovative project for people over 50 living in Tower Hamlets.
Borough-wide, it is based out of five hubs – Age UK East London, Neighbours in Poplar, Peabody at Sundial, Sonali Gardens and Toynbee Hall.
Linkage Plus works with older people to improve their wellbeing and increase their social networks and tackle isolation. It is co-funded by Tower Hamlets Council and the Tower Hamlets Clinical Commissioning Group, aiming to help people stay active and make the most of life.
The outreach workers visit sheltered schemes, Ideas Stores and other places to offer their services and meet people who may be interested in taking part in our activities.
What can Linkage Plus offer?
• One-to-one support at home or a place of convenience such as a cafe
• Have your voice, have your say about local matters
• IT learning, training and support that suits you
• Social activities such as coffee mornings and tea clubs
• Health promotion e.g. healthy heart talks, diet and nutrition, dementia and falls prevention workshops
• Fitness sessions in your local area – chair based fitness, tai chi, Zumba, Yoga and walking groups
• Support accessing the hubs and their activities, singing, art, trips to local museums and galleries
Whether you are 50 or 90, Linkage Plus may have something for you!
