As always we aim to provide up to date information on a range of services and activities across the District that we think are likely to be of a particular interest and relevance to residents. Once again our grateful thanks go to the advertisers whose input has largely enabled us to provide this book free of charge to its readers (but please see our appeal on p.5). Grateful thanks are also due to Aspect Design for their support and unstinting help, and to our volunteers and contributors who ensure that the information in the book is as up to date as we can make it. Thanks also to those of you who have taken the time to let us know what you thought was good, or not so good, about last year’s book and what we might do to improve it; your feedback has been incorporated into this edition. We do hope you find the information you need but if not please feel free to contact us and we’ll do our best to help. Happy reading!

Although we are affiliated to the national Age UK charity and provide services under that name we are based in Malvern and provide services purely on a local level. To many local people those services are a life line, literally in some cases. In 2018/19 we received 5,028 separate enquiries for information and advice on a whole range of issues including benefits, estate planning, home help, loneliness, dementia and what to do when a loved one dies. We helped people across the district access well over £1,500,000 in benefit entitlement, largely for Attendance Allowance which pays for personal care and enables older people to maintain their independence, health and wellbeing for as long as possible. Our services are in demand and, with more people living longer that demand is only going to grow; it is estimated that by 2026 31% of the population of Malvern Hills District will be aged 65 or over. However, at the same time as demand is set to rise, securing funding for these services is getting harder. In recent years we have seen the levels of local authority funding shrink to virtually nothing and, as a charity providing services to the vulnerable and those in need, we aim to keep the costs of our charged for services to a minimum. We also work hard to minimise our costs e.g. by working in partnership with other organisations to share costs, and regularly review ways to diversify and increase our income from alternative sources, all of which brings us to this appeal. Could you make a donation to Age UK Malvern and help secure the future of these vital services? As an example, a donation of £25.00 would fund one advice session which could potentially result in an older vulnerable person receiving up to £87.65 per week, or £4,542.20 a year, in Attendance Allowance. This makes a massive difference to the individual, but don’t just take our word for it, take the word of one our many clients: ‘Thank you very much for your time and help during my recent visit.

  • Asset Mapping Including Report Fote Malvern 2020
    Asset Mapping Asset mapping is a widely used approach, based on the assumption that every community has a range of assets, relationships, and networks that are of great value. By bringing local stakeholders together, the approach enables the community to become aware of the assets it has that relate to a particular focus. It highlights how these can be utilised for the greater good. We have been re-visiting the attached Mapping Assets for People Living with Dementia in Malvern Report (Evans & Brooker, 2020) in the light of Meeting Centre developments in the UK. This provides a report of an Asset Mapping exercise that was undertaken in the Worcestershire town of Malvern. This work was commissioned by a national Charity called Friends of the Elderly (FoTE) who operate several care services for those affected by dementia in Malvern. We believe that this document would be of great value for people wanting to set up Meeting Centres, and indeed other community-based interventions and activities. The non-deficit approach has great synergy with the Meeting Centre community engagement process and could be enormously useful for communities to participate in. It would reveal gaps in provision and where there was overlap. The approach works well with those wanting to establish common ground. Evans, S.C.E. & Brooker, D.

  • The Story of a Worcestershire Harris Family – Part 2: the Siblings
    Foreword Through marriage, the male line of descent of our Harris family has Our work on Part Two of our story has brought an added bonus. By links with Clark, Matthews, Price, Jones and Graves families. delving more deeply into the lateral branches of our tree, our findings have thrown new light on the family of our first known ancestor, John Through the siblings of the Harris males and the families of their Harris, who married Mary Clark in Eastham on 30 December 1779. spouses, we are also linked to such diverse family names as Apperley, Baldwin, Birkin, Boulton, Bray, Browning, Butler, Craik, Brian Harris, Cowbridge, February 2012 Davies, Davis, Garbett, Godfrey, Gore, Gould, Griffiths, Hall, Harrod, Hehir, Homer, Hughes, Moon, Passey, Pitt, Postans, Pound, Preece, Prime, Robotham, Sewell, Skyrme, Sprittles, Stinissen, Thomas,Thurston, Tingle, Turner, Twinberrow, Ward, Yarnold and many more. They are part of a network of Harris connections which takes us beyond the boundaries of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and the rest of the British Isles to Belgium, Australia, Canada and the USA. It may come as a surprise that two of the siblings of Edward James Harris who emigrated to Canada before WWI had already married and started a family in England before leaving these shores. They were George and Edith.
