Services for older people in Hampshire Central
At MHA Communities Hampshire Central, we want to enable older people to maintain their independence and live later life well.
Our social groups provide a whole range of support and services, including a wide range of activities and events, supported outings, befriending services, interest groups, signposting and other services that enable older people to remain actively involved in their local community.

The social group is something to look forward to, breaks the week up. Conversations to be had, banter to be had, ideas to exchange, outings to be enjoyed, great meals and teas to be enjoyed. Moral support is given if needed, enjoyment all round - also activities to enjoy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Social group member
I am grateful to MHA. Helping my mother get out each Tuesday and helping her maintain her independence and dignity as she has a number of health issues. It gives me peace of mind knowing that she is having a meal and being looked after for a few hours each week spending time in the company of her friends.
Relative
Attending our club day every week with my little therapy dog has helped me immensely to get through very difficult times. I don’t know if I would be the strong person I am today without our club days.
Social group member
I lost my husband last year and have been very depressed and lonely since. Volunteering with MHA has helped me through a very sad time in my life and I am grateful for that.
Volunteer
My confidence has returned which has an impact on others that attend MHA members and staff and volunteers alike. I just love everything about it.

We also offer befriending services, where you can be matched with a volunteer who will visit you regularly or call for a friendly chat. Our befrienders can offer companionship, emotional support, and practical help.
Designed to enhance later life living by putting an interactive world at the fingertips of older people, MHA Active is our free lifestyle and wellness app that provides a raft of content tailored to an older audience.
Join our thriving community of volunteers who are enriching the lives of older people in our care homes, retirement living, and community groups across England and Wales.
There’s no limit to how you can raise money for our social group. If you need some help finding your perfect fundraiser, we have a range of ideas to suit everyone. Whatever you do, we’ll be there to support you to reach your fundraising goal.
