Allerton Elderly Care
Moor Allerton Elderly Care was set up in 1995 under the
umbrella of Churches Together in Moor Allerton and
Shadwell. It received a small amount of funding from
Leeds City Council, and had just one member of staff,
Carole Gosden. The following year MAECare began
its volunteer car transport scheme, and started the
Alwoodley Park Lunch Club, and by 1997 it had an office
in the vestry of St Stephen’s Church. Some activities
in the early years included Winter Warmers, Extend
exercise classes, Companions in Concert and the Stroke
Club. Friendly Visiting started formally in 2000, and in
2001 MAECare moved to Northcall on Cranmer Bank.
The premises at 57 Cranmer Bank have been occupied
since 2003, with the expansion to 57a taking place in
2015. MAECare became independent of CTMAS in 2008.
From the vestry to new premises at 57 and 57a we
have grown and developed. In 1995 we had one staff
member; we now have 13. We started with 40 volunteers
and we now have 90. Our first grant was £22,000; our
turnover last year was £305,000. The newsletter was
sent out to 185 people; it is now sent to over 1000 people.
The increase in resources has meant we can offer a wide
range of groups, activities and services.

Resilience
The resilience and         It really lifted my
cheerfulness of our        spirits The fish and
MAECare members            chips were very nice
has never been more        Fish and chips home
                           delivery
evident than in these
testing times.

It was really lovely.
You could tell it was a
professional who had
done it. The cakes were
all fancied up in a box.
We did a quiz together.
It was really good!”

The future
This calendar portrays some of the work that MAECare has done in the past
I have been asked to write something about how things will develop for MAECare in the future
In fact, it is very difficult to forecast exactly what will happen in the next few months.
During the time since March 2020, the world has been in the middle of a pandemic caused by COVID
19. The UK went into lock-down in March, and regulations and guidelines were issued which affected us
all. Many people had to isolate, and we had to discontinue most of MAECare’s activities. We were also
asked to become the Community Care Hub for Leeds City Council’s COVID support base in Alwoodley.
So, from that time MAECare has been organizing support and managing volunteers for people who
couldn’t leave their homes to do things like shopping, getting medication or even walking their dogs. And
we did that, as well as modifying our standard work with older people, using schemes such as telephone
contact and support, emergency shopping, doorstop chats, providing fish and chip meals and even a
distanced social event held in gazebos set up outside the office. We may well need to continue those
sorts of activities for quite a while.
But the virus has allowed some of us to learn new skills. People have learnt to speak a foreign language
or take up a new hobby or even restart an old hobby. And many of us have developed skills in IT which
have helped us to communicate with others in a whole host of different ways. And so, we’ve become
interested in a wide variety of different things. Personally, I’ve become obsessed with digestive biscuits.
I wouldn’t have given you tuppence for a digestive before the pandemic, but now I’ll even fight the dogs
to get hold of one before they do! And I have learnt, from necessity, to re-roof my garden shed. Didn’t
do a bad job, but I wouldn’t choose to do that one again!
So, what does this have to do with MAECare? You will know that MAECare is funded to provide services
for older people in the locality in emerging need and using different techniques. It’s not quite the same
as eating digestives or learning to put a roof on, but I’m equating the situation to MAECare developing
new activities to meet new needs and adapting other activities in the light of a changed situation. It will
be hard, and there is much to think about, but we are committed, and we will do it.
I know we have your support, and we will be there for you.
