With warmer days ahead, it’s important to look after yourself and those around you. Hot weather can affect anyone, but older people and those with health conditions may feel the impact sooner.

Here are some simple ways to stay cool and well:

Stay hydrated – drink water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty.

Keep your home cool – close curtains during the hottest part of the day and open windows when it’s cooler.

Check weather alerts – sign up for weather alerts and health warnings so you know when temperatures are rising.

Dress for the heat – wear loose, light‑coloured clothing and use suncream if you need to go outside.

Store medication safely – keep medicines in a cool, dry place and check the label for any temperature‑sensitive instructions.

Check in on others – older neighbours, friends and relatives may need extra support in hot weather.

Thornberry Jam will be busking for Age UK Maidstone, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge on Saturday 27th June - with our very own Jackie taking to Week Street to fundraise!

If you happen to pop past the band, please take a moment to cheer them on and chuck some money in their bucket. Donations are crucial in enabling us to offer more services to older people living across Maidstone, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge.

Next week is Loneliness Awareness Week, and we're delighted to be partnering with The Mall, Maidstone to help raise awareness and start conversations about loneliness.

Throughout the week, we'll have a tree on display featuring tags with messages of positivity and hope created by our day centre and social group clients - reminding members of our community that they are never alone.

We'll also be hosting an information stall where you can find out more about the services Age UK Maidstone, Sevenoaks & Tonbridge provide locally. Our team will be available on Wednesday morning to answer questions and chat about our support.

We're hugely grateful to The Mall for supporting us in trialling this initiative.

We hope it will help to raise awareness of the support available and become something we can replicate across Tonbridge and Sevenoaks in the future.

If you or a loved one need support with routine nail cutting and basic footcare, our Footcare Service is here to help. Staying comfortable on your feet can make a huge difference to confidence, mobility and overall wellbeing.

We run regular clinics across Maidstone, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge, offering friendly, professional footcare in a relaxed setting. Once you’ve completed a referral, our team will arrange an appointment at the clinic most convenient for you.

You can explore all clinic locations in the carousel and find full details about how to refer on our website under the Services section.

We can’t mark Volunteers Week without saying thank you to our fantastic Board of Trustees. We have been lucky to have new members join our Board recently, bringing unique skills and capabilities which will help to drive our organisation forward.

Our Trustees assume strategic and legal responsibilities for our charity - and do so in a voluntary capacity.

We are grateful to the individuals who support us alongside busy professional lives, helping to ensure that we have a positive impact in our communities.

Volunteers choose to support our work for all different reasons. For some, they want to give back to their local community and support people in need. Others find that by helping others, it helps them to feel good, too.

We spoke to one of our volunteers at our Dementia Daycare sessions recently and were touched by how much spending time with our clients help them. It’s a lovely reminder that we’re not just helping the people we support - they help us, too!

[Image Description: Image from one of Age UK MST's Dementia Daycare sessions accompanied by text on a blue background which reads “I love volunteering. It gets me out of the house and gives me things to do. I live with Down Syndrome and find I need something to keep me occupied a lot of the time. I love spending time with our clients, and also appreciate how the clients help me, too!”. The Age UK MST logo is visible too.]

Earlier this week we had the pleasure of joining partners from across Maidstone for the Volunteers Fair event organised by the team at Maidstone Borough Council. It was great having the opportunity to talk to so many of our local partners.

We’re lucky to have such a thriving charitable sector filled with so many great organisations. What a fantastic way to mark Volunteers Week!

This week is Volunteer’s Week - so we wanted to say a huge thank you to all of the incredible people across Maidstone, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge who give their time to our organisation.

From helping to deliver hot meals to people in our communities to facilitating groups and activities which bring people together, we are proud to have over eighty volunteers giving their time and energy to support older people.

If you are one of our volunteers, thank you. Your support is invaluable and helps to make our work possible.
