Armley Helping Hands (Charity No 107669211 is a re8i5tered charity sUPPOrting older people in the Armley & Wortley District of Leeds, West Yorkshire. It was established in 1995. in response to the Community Care Act by a group of local people and community activists. They were concerned about the welfare of local older people, living in very deprived inner-crty areas of Leeds. Community Care grants were available, via Leeds City Council and the inltial steerlng groups SUC￿SfUllY applied and this enabled them to employ their first worker Dawn Newsome in 1995. Our project has grown, in response to the needs and aspirations of local people aged 50 plus. We have earefully listened to our members, (people aged 50 plu5) and tried to respond appropriately, by providing a range of services, advice, support and varied social and healthy living activrties, enabling our older cltizens to live independently and to pro-actively participate within their own communities. Armley Helpin8 Hands provided sUPPOrt and service to people aged 60 plus and their families Ilvlng in Amley and WorUey district of Leeds 12. These older people are at highest risk of adverse outcomes such as falls, disablllty, admission to hospital, or the need for long-tenn care. Leeds 12 average lrfe expectancy Is 77.7 yrs., the majority of early deaths in our area is related to unhealthy lifestyles, smokSn8 (higher than the overall proportion of smokers in Leeds) excessive altohol use, poor diet and low levels of physical activity.
