What a fantastic day on the course!

We’re delighted to share some of the photos from our Charity Golf Day at Dean Wood Golf Club from last week! A fantastic day of golf, friendly competition, fundraising and, most importantly, people coming together to support older people across Wigan Borough.

A huge and very special thank you to Kris Meadows from Goldstone Broking Group and Stuart Batty from Pro Delta Consulting, who organised the day, brought everyone together and went above and beyond to make it such a success. From arranging the event to securing an incredible selection of prizes, your support has made a real difference to Age UK Wigan Borough.

We’d also like to thank everyone who took part and helped make the day so memorable:

🏌️ Virgin Atlantic
🏌️ LENS Media
🏌️ Goldstone Broking Group
🏌️ Jones Potts Taylor Estate Agents
🏌️ Pro 5 Networking
🏌️ Pro Delta Consulting
🏌️ John Reilly Civil Engineering
🏌️ Vistry Group

and our lovely advisor Gina from Age UK Wigan Borough who brought friends and put together a team.

And a special thank you to Pro 5 Networking for the fantastic prize they donated for the auction, as well as Goldstone Broking Group and Pro Delta Consulting for arranging the other brilliant prizes.

From everyone at Age UK Wigan Borough, thank you for helping make the day such a success. Your generosity, time and support help us continue our work supporting older people across our community.

A new partnership supporting a more connected community!

We’re delighted to announce our new printing partners, Pinnacle Branding Group Ltd

Sean and the team have been fantastic in supporting us to continue providing printed information and leaflets to people across Wigan Borough who may be digitally excluded.

We know that not everyone has access to, or feels comfortable using, digital services. Having printed information available means we can continue reaching people in our communities and making sure they can find out about the support and services available to them.

It’s particularly special to work with a local organisation that shares our commitment to supporting the community, and we’re looking forward to working together on many more projects in the future.

Thank you to Sean and the team at Pinnacle Branding Solutions for supporting Age UK Wigan Borough and helping us make sure information remains accessible to everyone.

September is World Alzheimer’s Month 💜

This month is a time to raise awareness, challenge stigma and increase understanding of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

The 2026's theme is “The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do: A Dementia Diagnosis Matters.”

Throughout September, we’ll be sharing information and raising awareness about dementia, the importance of early diagnosis and the support available to individuals, families and carers.

💜 World Alzheimer’s Day takes place on Monday 21st September.

Together, we can help create a better understanding of dementia and ensure that no one feels they have to face it alone.
