Age UK Bexley has had to suspend the majority of its services in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Handy person, foot care services, men in sheds project and befriending cafes and fitness sessions have all been suspended and closed in light of the virus.

However, the charity has announced they are working closely alongside local authorities and other charity partners to identify the quickest method to provide help through volunteering and redeployment methods.

" We are currently working with several agencies locally to develop a range of alternatives, that will ensure support and advice.

" We are currently working with our borough partners to explore options to redeploy our staff to directly support those who may be isolated at home with little immediate help.

" Information is still available to those who need it."
