Staywell (Charity no. 299988) Information

Staywell is an independent, award-winning charity providing a range of services for people in south-west London and Surrey. 2023 marks 10 years since we started using the name 'Staywell'. Our organisation has evolved over 75 years and also incorporates Malden and Coombe Old People’s Welfare Association, Age Concern Kingston and Age Concern Kingston upon Thames. Our core work is with older people and their carers and we aim to support our users to live with independence and dignity, decide the direction of their own lives and enjoy life as part of the community. We work to influence local policy and practice and create a greater understanding of the needs of older people and their potential to contribute to community life. We aim to foster greater understanding between the generations by involving younger people in our work through volunteering. Through our furniture recycling service, Kingston Community Furniture, we address the needs of people who experience financial hardship and disadvantage for reasons other than age. We offer a holistic, evidence-based range of services designed to help people stay well and independent in their own homes. Our buildings in New Malden and Kingston act as hubs which can respond flexibly and creatively to the needs and aspirations of a wide range of people with a range of targeted prevention and support services provided in buildings, complemented by flexible outreach services provided from buildings.
