We make sure older people aren’t forgotten or left to struggle on their own. In Solihull, we have one of the fastest growing populations of older people in the West Midlands, and as the older population continues to grow, our services will become increasingly more important. Our clients tell us how much the “sympathetic interest” we take in their worries and concerns means to them, and how it is “so reassuring to know that Age UK Solihull is always there to give independent help and advice”. In the last year, Age UK Solihull’s Information and Advice Service has received over 30,000 contacts in Solihull with and for older people. With your generous donation, however big or small, will make a very positive difference to secure our services to local older people. We rely on the generous support of our donors to help us to continue providing these services and countless others. Thank you visiting our page. We hope you are able to support us today.

Mixed anxiety and depression is the most common mental disorder in Britain. This may be as a result of a traumatic situation but sometimes the causes are less easily identified. Cogwheel is able to provide the early intervention which is shown by research be to be the most effective solution and prevents more complex health and social needs from developing, whatever the cause or reason for the disorder. Cogwheel has a large team of trained counsellors experienced in various psychotherapeutic disciplines and techniques. All counsellors receive regular supervision to ensure best practice. Our counsellors give their time on a voluntary basis or at subsidised rates so we are able to bring help to substantial numbers of people. In 2011 we provided approximately 3600 counselling sessions to vulnerable people in Cambridgeshire, 50% of whom were referred to us by their GPs. Even though participants are on limited incomes we do ask them to make a donation, whatever they feel able to give. This encourages participants to commit to attending sessions and to engage with the support made available. We have counselling rooms in a number of locations throughout Cambridgeshire.
