Life transitions

Plan for the future

If you live in East Sussex or West Sussex, the Life Transitions Service can support you to plan for anything important happening in your future.

Everyone faces changes as they go through life. Planning ahead can help you feel in control and give you a better experience.

Examples of some common later life transitions are:

retirement
working in later life
stopping driving
changes in mental wellbeing
changes in physical health and mobility
menopause
moving home
becoming a carer
preparing for bereavement
starting volunteering
making new friends

These changes may be happening for you soon or in the future. It is never too late or too early to start planning.

One-to-one volunteer support

One of our trained volunteers can meet with you to help you start planning for any important changes coming up in your life. If we have a volunteer that lives in your area, this could be face to face. We do not offer home visits. We offer online support via Microsoft Teams.

Your volunteer will help you think about what you want to happen in your future. They will help you identify things that you could do, to be more prepared, and get what you want. You can create a 'to do' list and give yourself a target date to achieve your goals. Follow-up conversations are offered to discuss how you have got on, make further plans if you wish, or start planning something else.
