New Ageactivity 60+ Club Opens

 Wed, April 23, 2014

We are proud to announce the opening of our new over 60s club Ageactivity.

Recently Ageactivity replaced the much loved and respected CCA HELPS. CCA HELPS officially closed on 31st March 2014, as its five year funding stream came to an end. CCA HELPS ran for nearly 15 years within the Castlehaven Community Association, working with thousands of older Camden residents. CCA HELPS won awards and was a highly respected older people’s charity in the heart of Camden Town.  We were sad to say good bye to CCA HELPS, but we will use what was learnt by running such a successful project into moulding Ageactivity into a thriving, positive and engaging older peoples club in Camden.

WHAT IS AGEACTIVITY?
Ageactivity is a new club for people aged over 60, it provides a vast variety of interesting, educational and healthy activities, events and experiences for members to enjoy, increase connections with others and feel part of the community. Plus you don’t need to be a Camden resident to join!

Ageactivitiy is managed by the award winning Castlehaven Community Association. CCA has over 30yrs experience working with older people and prides itself on providing friendly caring staff and volunteers, plus a space to feel welcome and respected.

The National Lottery, City Bridges Trust, local businesses & charitable trusts, have confirmed funding to provide Ageactivity throughout the next five years from April 2014 till April 2019!
