As a local charity we strive to do this through a wide range of responsive support and services including: Day Support Services for elderly mentally frail and respite for carers; Services which support and inform people to live independently in a manner which enables choice, respect, dignity and responds to the needs of the individual; Educational, recreational, intergenerational and social activities which promote physical and mental wellbeing Many of our services are funded from income raised through donations, legacies and fundraising and are vital in allowing us to support older people to live as independently as they choose and are able. Without your donations we could not help people to access the welfare benefits they are entitled to or to participate in a lunch club in their local community. Age Concern Central Lancashires Community Support and Information team have been applauded after it was revealed that their work has resulted in over £1 million of extra benefits being claimed by local older people. Matthew Tomlinson, Transitional Care Team Officer said, "The teams staff and volunteers are trained to give benefits advice which is specifically aimed at older people. We can give this advice either in the persons home or at our offices in Preston. It is thanks to the staffs hard work and expertise that we can show that, in the last year, we helped older people across Central Lancashire access over £1million pounds in extra benefit payments."

Welfare facilities and services both onboard and ashore can be a lifeline for seafarers. ISWAN works to support the welfare of seafarers all over the world. We work in support of organisations and bodies that provide direct welfare services to seafarers. We work to enable the establishment of welfare facilities and services in port and on ships. ISWAN also provides direct welfare services to seafarers. The 24 hour multilingual helpline, seafarerhelp, runs every day of the year and is free for seafarers to call from anywhere in the world. ISWAN also runs an emergency welfare fund for seafarers in dire need, produces health information for seafarers, and provides information on the location of seafarer centres.
