Activities for older people
LinkAge Plus Centres
LinkAge Plus centres in Tower Hamlets offer residents a range of
social and health related activities to maximise their wellbeing
and make the most of life.
Through outreach work the centres identify residents who may be
socially isolated and not accessing any events or activities.
They may need housing or benefit advice, or may need information
about health and social care. LinkAge Plus aims to empower
individuals to take more control of their lives.
The LinkAge Plus centres are for everybody
over the age of 50. You don’t need a referral, just drop in to your
nearest centre.
At the centres
The centres work closely together while addressing the needs of
their local communities. They are a place to find help and
support. They provide activities, such as exercise, dance, health
promotion, IT classes and welfare advice sessions, as well as
social events such as coffee mornings and knitting groups.
