We are delighted to announce that Regenerage has been selected as one of the Mayor of South Ribble’s five chosen charities for his year in office.


The announcement was made at the recent South Ribble Borough Council mayoral installation and we are honoured to be recognised alongside other worthy local causes.

This support is especially meaningful as Regenerage celebrates it’s 45th anniversary this year. For 45 years, we have been working alongside older people across our communities, helping to reduce isolation, improve well-being and create opportunities for people to stay active, connected and valued.

We would like to thank the Mayor for choosing to support Regenerage and for recognising the importance of our work. We look forward to working together throughout the year and raising awareness of the difference that can be made when communities come together to support older people.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past 45 years. This recognition is shared with you all.

Building Stronger Communities Together: Barratt Homes Supports Re-engage with £1,500 Community Fund Donation.

At Regenerage we know that tackling loneliness and social isolation among older people is a challenge that requires communities to come together. That is why we were delighted to welcome Lee Bowers from Barratt Homes to our head office, where he presented the charity with a generous £1,500 donation through the Barratt Homes Community Fund.

This valued contribution will help us continue our work connecting older people with their communities through friendship, social activities and meaningful human connection.

At a time when many older people are experiencing increasing levels of loneliness, support from organisations such as Barratt Homes plays an important role in helping us to reach those who need us most.

The support of local businesses is about far more than financial assistance. It
demonstrates a commitment to creating positive change within the communities where they operate.

By investing in local charities and community organisations, businesses can help strengthen social networks, improve wellbeing and contribute to a more
connected society.

Barratt Homes' donation is an excellent example of Social Value in action. Social Value is about recognising the wider benefits that organisations can bring to communities beyond their core business activities. Whether through charitable giving, volunteering, partnerships or community engagement, actions like this help create lasting positive outcomes for people and places.

Partnerships between charities and businesses are increasingly important in addressing social challenges. By working together, we can amplify our impact, reach more people and create stronger, more resilient communities for everyone.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Barratt Homes for their generosity and commitment to supporting older people. Their contribution will help us continue creating opportunities for friendship, connection and companionship for older people across the UK.

Together, we can ensure that no older person feels disconnected from the community around them.

Celebrating the people who make a difference.

As part of national volunteers week and our Sapphire anniversary celebrations, yesterday Regenerage was delighted to welcome volunteers, staff and special guests to our Lostock Hall Activity Centre for a special afternoon of appreciation and celebration.

The event was dedicated to recognising the incredible individuals who generously give their time, energy and compassion to support older people across our communities.

Volunteers enjoyed refreshments, cake, a quiz and most importantly, the opportunity to connect, share experiences and celebrate their achievements together.

We were honoured to be joined by the newly appointed Mayor of South Ribble and the Mayoress who helped us acknowledge the invaluable contribution volunteers make to strengthening local communities throughout the year.

Each Volunteer received a personalised certificate and a small token of appreciation but the real celebration was recognising the lasting impact they have on the lives of older people every day.

This year is particularly special as we celebrate our 45th anniversary. For more than four decades volunteers have played a vital role in helping older people to stay connected, active and independent. The support continues to help us build stronger, more connected communities where people can age positively and live well.

A huge thank you to every Volunteer who has been part of our journey. Your contribution makes a lasting difference.
