Food Distribution

We are an approved surplus food collector for ‘Neighbourly’ helping to ensure that surplus food does not go to waste. We collect surplus food from a number of Supermarkets and distribute to older people especially those who are house bound.

Food Workshop

Women-Accede Food Workshop serves as a delivery vehicle for the support we give to older people in the realm of healthy eating. Our older people are supported to plan and deliver their own food workshop where their peers learn about food from different cultures. We also promote older peoples’ mental health through support with gardening, food farming/allotment work and other strategies to enhance food security for older people.

Research Gathering

As of 2021, older adults, 65 and over, constituted 15%. However, the ONS Population projection for Hull 2018 to 2043 highlights an increase in the number of older people. It shows that the population of those aged 65+ years will increase by 14.9% by 2028 (from 38,900 in 2018 to 44,700 in 2028).

Our ambition is not only to raise the profile of the needs of older people but to be able to provide a space for dialogue on these issues.

While we support older people, we also undertake some scoping work focusing on assessing what services are available to them and in particular, their social care needs.

Our efforts have led to a groundbreaking pilot study which specifically looks at Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Older Peoples’ Access and Experiences of Adult Social Care Services.

Trip Making

At Women-Accede, we put provide older adults with the experience of making day trips to different cities and seaside and they tell us that it provides them a reassurance and positive spirit to aspire to do more for themselves.
