On Sunday 7th September at 3pm (UK), many phones/tablets will play a loud siren and vibrate for ~10 seconds.

It’s only a test - no action needed.

Important notes:
- This may still sound on silent/Do Not Disturb and/or vibrate briefly.

- Warn and monitor anyone who may be startled or confused by the sound (e.g., dementia, autism, anxiety, PTSD)

- Put the device away or switch it off until after the alert if it may cause extreme distress or confusion.

- Check in on loved ones after 3pm if they may need reassurance that everything is ok and no action is required.

- Drivers shouldn't touch their phone when the alert sounds; they should stop and check their phone only when it’s safe and legal to do so.

- Hidden/safety phones: If you keep a phone hidden for your safety, switch it off or turn off Emergency Alerts before 3pm on Sunday 7th September. Turn them back on afterwards. Guidance available (English/Cymraeg).

- Device compatibility: Only 4G/5G compatible devices get the alert; some older phones won’t.
GOV.UK:

- For details and accessible formats (Easy Read, BSL, Welsh), search “Emergency Alerts – GOV.UK.”

Happy September!!

September is the ideal month to plant Daffodil bulbs to ensure wonderful blooms in spring! ☺️

Like us the Daffodil is a tough and resilient flower that can brighten any day and after winter they remind us that brighter days are ahead! 💪🏻💛

So pop down to your local garden centre and grab some bulbs! 🏃🏼‍♂️‍➡️

Did you know that we can help with light gardening or support you/your loved ones to keep tending to your/their garden when it becomes a bit too much to do alone? 🥀

We have also helped to find reputable gardeners to do the bigger jobs that need more expertise. 🕵🏼‍♀️

Happy International Dog day! 🐾

We have lots of dog lovers on our team and regularly have four legged visitors into the office. 🥰🐶

Did you know we can support with caring for pets as well as people?

If you are an elderly and/or disabled individual with a pet you are struggling to care for we can help!

From picking up supplies, assisting to feed, short walks and picking up after them we can also help with vet appointments and support with their medication requirements if needed too.

***Please note, we are not a dog walking service!***

Happy Birthday Ethel!! 🎊🥳🎊

What an amazing age to reach!! 🤩
She definitely doesn’t look her age!! ☺️

Ethel May Caterham is celebrating her 116th birthday today 🥳

Ethel has the title not only of being the UK’s oldest person, but now is also officially recognised as being the oldest living person in the world!

Previously, the supercentenarian has said her secret to longevity is ‘never arguing with anyone, I listen and I do what I like!’ Ethel, who was born in the reign of King Edward VII in 1909, is celebrating the day quietly with her family at her care home in Surrey.

Everyone at Age UK would like to wish you a very happy birthday, Ethel 💜
