Abbi

Director of Lewisham Services

I lead and oversee the operational activities of Age UK Lewisham and Southwark services in Lewisham. I support a group of amazing teams to deliver invaluable services in Lewisham that support residents to improve their health, wellbeing and happiness.

Partnership Coordination Team

Our Partnership Coordinators (PCs) are the first point of contact for when you get in touch with us over the phone, through our online referral form, or when visiting our weekly drop-in. They also work with our Key Partners; a growing list of voluntary and statutory organisations across the borough. Having these partnerships enable us to make quick referrals whenever you need the specialist professional support they offer, as well as ensuring we have accurate, up-to-date information about what their services provide.

Community Facilitation Team

Our team of Community Facilitators (CFs) work with residents who require more in-depth support. Through up to 8 weeks’ support, they provide the opportunity for a longer conversation and the development of a goal-orientated Wellbeing Plan. As well as introducing residents to new groups and services they can also help them tackle barriers that are getting in the way of positive change. Each Community Facilitator focuses on one particular neighbourhood of Lewisham, meaning they can offer up to date, specialist knowledge of what’s happening in your particular area!

Community Development Team

Our Community Development Team provides support for groups and activities across the borough, helping them to thrive and become resilient. Through this work we are helping to ensure there are lots of great groups for our service users to join! Our team do this in a variety of ways, including supporting groups with their fundraising bids, providing networking and publicity support, and helping them create an action plan to develop and sustain their activities.
