"Making a difference to people's lives"

Patron: Sir Cliff Richard


Welcome to the website of the Golden-Oldies Charity, which is now in its fifth year. Most people now refer to us as "Goldies" and, as you can see from these pictures our fun singing sessions across the West of England and Wales are putting smiles on hundreds of faces.


We hope that you will find out everything you need to know about us on this website. You can contact us by calling 01761 470006 or by email hiho@golden-oldies.org.uk

A jubilee, a DIAMOND day, a new hat!

Goldies is good for you - It's official
Photobucket An independent research study by Dr. Barbra Teater and Dr. Mark Baldwin from the Department of Social & Policy Sciences at the University of Bath has shown that the work of the Golden-Oldies Charity that brings singing and friendship to the lives of the elderly and isolated in the West of England is having a real effect on their lives.

"The most important result was the statistically significant improvement in self-reported overall health from before their participation in the Goldies sessions to now."

Click onto this video to see what Goldies means to people. Phyllis from Weston super Mare attended the Tuesday morning session at Martindale Court. She was talking here to our founder, Grenville Jones last year and her words are echoed by hundreds of others who look forward each week to Goldies.

Sadly after a sudden deterioration in health, Phyllis passed away this March. We have left this video on our home page as we know that Goldies helped a very special lady to enjoy the closing stages of her life.
