Age UK Bury, based at The Jubilee Centre on Mosley Avenue, has been handed £260,000 from the National Lottery Community Fund which will go towards supporting its befriending service. As a result, Age UK Bury is still calling more than 140 people per week. As life opened up after Covid, the befriending service set up cluster groups comprised of people they were calling. The new funding will enable Age UK Bury to consolidate its current work and develop online support to enable people to feel included in our community. If it were not for Age UK Bury, I would be lost with everything I've been through”.
