About us

Who we are​

Southwark Pensioners Centre is a vibrant community organisation dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for adults aged over 50 in the London Borough of Southwark.

Established in 1987 with a mission to empower and support the elderly, our centre provides a welcoming space where pensioners can access a wide range of services, participate in social activities, and find a sense of belonging.

Southwark Pensioners Centre is committed to making a positive impact on the lives of older adults. Through our programmes and initiatives, we aim to foster a supportive community where everyone can thrive. We work with local organisations, health services, and government bodies to make sure our members can access the resources they need to lead fulfilling lives.

Our approach

Our mission is to provide older people with opportunities to lead active lives full of purpose and joy.

We do this by offering practical assistance and advice, connecting older people to one another through regular activities and excusions, encouraging lifelong learning through workshops and lectures, and advocating for older people to make sure their voices are heard and their needs are met.

Our vision is a community where all older people live vibrant, independent lives.

We are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of older adults. We work to empower older people and promote the well-being and independence of the over 50s. We believe that lifelong learning and active participation, like services run for older people by older people, are routes to better health and a sense of fulfilment.
