At MHA Communities East Surrey, we want to enable older people to maintain their independence and live more fulfilled lives.
Through befriending, lunch clubs, assisted shopping, activity and friendship sessions, outings, escorts to appointments and much more, MHA's Communities across the UK help to tackle loneliness and isolation in people over 60 – helping them to lead fulfilled lives and remain as active members in their local communities.
Activities at East Surrey scheme include:
- Weekly social clubs with a home-cooked lunch
- Monthly coffee mornings
- Monthly pub lunches

- Weekly club for those with dementia and their carers
- Befriending service for those who like a weekly visitor in their own home
- Telephone support service - ‘Friendship down the line’
- Volunteering opportunities

The activities programme is designed and led by its members and volunteers to ensure that we are providing the practical and social support which those we serve need.

Information for businesses and corporates
MHA is able to subsidise many of its charitable services thanks to the generous contributions of businesses who want to make a difference in their local communities. How to get involved
Information for families and friends
If you’re looking at MHA Communities to help someone you know, we understand. With a busy work life, family and other responsibilities, sometimes it just isn’t possible to travel regularly and give a loved one the dedicated care and support you wish you could provide. Refer a family member or friend
Information for healthcare professionals
If an older person in hospital has no family, friends or neighbours, we can assist them to return home. We work with GP practices, hospital discharge and re-enablement teams and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) to support older people adjust and settle back at home after a period in hospital.

Information for local authorities
Through our preventative, person-centred services, we can reduce the strain on local health services – delaying, minimising or even preventing people’s need for them. More information
