Age Concern Luton

If you or a loved one needs help accessing the retirement benefits and services you are entitled to please email: enhancinglives@ageconcernluton.org.uk

Our free Enhancing Lives service provides advice to older people on money matters and disability benefits. In the last 12 months we have successfully applied for over £1,000,000 of benefits like Pension Credit and Attendance and Carer’s Allowance for older people in Luton!

Our Home Support service provides domestic support in the borough of Luton to help older people with day-to-day activities. If you or a loved one needs help, please email: homesupport@ageconcernluton.org.uk

This April, we are offering Will-writing services in exchange for a donation to @AgeConcernLuton. If you’ve been meaning to write a Will, this is a great opportunity to do so while supporting a local charity. machins.co.uk/news/write-a-w… Appointments are subject to availability

We are now accepting funding applications of up to £1k from local groups for activities in Farley! E-mail fbl@ageconcernluton.org.uk for application forms and guidance!

@virginmedia We have a business line via a third party provider who handle our VOIP phones so have also raised a ticket with them. Unfortunately Virgin can't talk directly to us. Was just wondering if there was a ETA for a fix (like yesterday) to try and save some colleagues a drive in!

@AgeConcernLuton Morning! Sorry to hear you are still having difficulties with your service. Have you been able to check for any updates via our outage trackers? 👉 virg.in/service or by calling 📞 0800 561 0061 Please let us know if you are a VM Business customer rather than residential

@virginmedia are there any current issues in Luton? LU1 2DW Broadband has been down for approx an hour and rebooting router isn't working 😔

@virginmedia Hi. We are still only getting blue lights on the router (multiple reboots) is there a new estimated fix time?

@AgeConcernLuton Hi 👋. Thanks for reaching out to us, apologies for the issues you are having with your service, the postcode you gave does show an outage with an estimated fix date of today at 6pm. If you have business broadband with us, we advise reaching out to the team 📞 0800 052 0800.

A huge thank you to all our amazing volunteers this #VolunteersWeek 👏😇🩷

@virginmedia Back online - thanks to all who worked on the fix👍

@AgeConcernLuton Sorry to hear that this is still ongoing. It appears the current estimated fix time has been set to 12pm today. Our team will do all they can to have this resolved for all users. Thanks for your patience 👍

Hi all We've had a Virgin Media outage so only one operational phone line (and multiple staff without access to email). Expected fix isn't until tonight😞 Please continue to use admin@ageconcernluton.org.uk or leave a voicemail as these will be regularly checked Thank you!

@paulandrewsuk @virginmedia Hi Paul. We came back online about 10 minutes ago - hoping yours is also sorted 🍀

@virginmedia @AgeConcernLuton @BedsChamberInfo @lutoncouncil @elonmusk could you please please buy @virginmedia and sort their internet issues, or replace them with #Starlink as, as an ex engineer, I can never understand how local outages (local kit faults/replacements??) take 24 hours to sort for businesses who then sit idle losing money?

@virginmedia Still down 😭 Expected fix was 8.40pm yesterday. We're in LU1 2DW - fingers crossed you can get this sorted ASAP 🤞🏻

@AgeConcernLuton Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you today. Our team will do all within their power to have this resolved as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience

Greenfingers? 🪴 We are looking for seasonal gardeners to work with us this summer! 😎 A fantastic job which greatly improves the quality of life of Luton's older people! 😇 Details can be found here ⬇️

Congrats to LTFC! We've had loads of call with our older people who never thought they'd see the day when we were back in the big time! ⚽🧡🥳 Also had a couple of younger fans stop by our office to see some great donations we've received! 😍 #COYH

Best of luck to the Hatters today! One last push and what a boost it will be to the town! 🙏🍀🤞🧡🎩

A truly wonderful and compassionate woman.

Help us! We are planning a study of unpaid/family #caregivers from #ethnically diverse and #minoritised communities who care for people with long term or life limiting illnesses. We welcome comments from unpaid/family caregivers in our online consultation tinyurl.com/25fcr228

@dr_shibley Shibs, you are not socially inept. We love you x

You may remember that a lovely young lady gave me a hug after I had ignored her for 20 minutes in my local café even though I knew her - I tend to avoid eye contact, I'm generally socially incompetent. Anyway, I gave her a box of chocolates today, as she's in fact my neighbour.

@Luke_DynamDeliv @TJQM2014 @ClaireJAstbury Theres an episode of The Detectorists I would not want to miss!

@AgeConcernLuton @TJQM2014 @ClaireJAstbury I would love to detect the Luton estate

Waiting for opening time! @AgeConcernLuton @TJQM2014 @ClaireJAstbury
