In 2010 the Government told us they wanted to change Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and replace it with the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for everyone aged 16-64. A big part of the change is to cut back on the growing amount they were spending on DLA. The Clarendon Ongoing Youth Opportunities 2012 scheme, supported by Aiming High, provides a range of exciting activities for young people with learning disabilities, aged 8-17, living in or around the town of Richmond. The aim of this scheme is to help develop the independence and self-confidence of young disabled people, all in a safe and secure setting, whilst also giving valuable respite for carers. Age UK will be opening a new Wellbeing Centre in Twickenham offering a range of activities. The centre will be open Monday-Friday 10.00-16.00. For more information call 020 8538 9254 or visit www.ageukrichmond.org.uk. The centre will be located on Arragon Road, Twickenham, TW1 3NH. An awareness morning for volunteers and voluntary sector workers around mental health and older people is being hosted by Age UK and the Friends of Barnes Hospital. It will take place on Thursday 29th March, 9.45-13.00, at Barnes Hospital. To book a place please contact Tina English on 0845 601 1149 or at tina.english@ageukrichmond.org.uk. On 6th February 2012, Richmond AID were the proud recipients of £3000 won by the pupils of Gumley House Convent School as part of the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI).
