Our Work: Welcome

Supporting the elderly and disabled in our community

Isolation and loneliness is an ongoing problem in the NW10 area and beyond. Our goal is to provide friendship, support and human interaction which, sadly, many elderly people miss out on.

The volunteers at The Elderly & Disabled Charitable Trust UK provide a personal, friendly service to older people, disabled people, and the vulnerable. Your donations and volunteering time help make days brighter. Discover how we help people in the area and get in touch to learn more.

Advantages of recycling metal -
Why is it important to recycle metal?

What is metal recycling?

It's the process of taking waste metal, processing it and creating new metal material. This recycled metal can be used to make metal products which can then be recycled again once used or not needed.

Which Metals can be recycled?

The two main types of metals are ferrous (containing a notable amounts of iron) and non ferrous both of which can be recycled. It is more important than ever to recycle waste materials where possible, aside from general benefits of recycling, such as reducing landfill.

Reduce Energy Use

The creation of Virgin metal materials uses far more energy than recycled metal. The process of repurposing waste metal is far more waste efficient, for example: recycled aluminium requires 95% less energy. Copper is another energy-efficient waste metal, with recycled copper requiring 90% less energy.

Befriending service

Mentoring and befriending is one-to-one, non judgemental relationship where you volunteer your time to support and encourage someone. Many people benefit from the support of a befriender at a time of change in their life or when they are socially isolated due to illness or old age.

For those who prefer not to have an in person visit each week, we can arrange for a friendly volunteer to provide weekly phone calls to chat and listen.

Areas we cover: These catchment areas we cover Harlesden, Willesden, Neasden and Stonebridge. We also cover areas outside the catchment areas of Wembley, Alperton and Harrow.

Pick-up and drop-off services

Mobility and access to transport are two reasons why many older and vulnerable people feel isolated. We offer a full pick-up and drop-off service, allowing people to get from their homes to one of our hub days, and enjoy interacting with our team and other people.

If you require transport, please speak to our friendly team.
