Subco was formed in 1993. The Aim of Subco is to provide Day Care provisions to frail Asian elders from the Sub-Continent over the age of 55 years, with a particular focus on those who are frail, isolated and house bound. Subco is a product of the community led initiative, its very origin rose from the concerns expressed by Newham's many and diverse ethnic minority communities. At its heart was the recognition that a day care centre for elders from the Sub-Continent simply did not exist in Newham, despite the blatant need for such a service.

Over the years we have pioneered a number of innovative services as a result of our continual review of our services, and the cataloguing of unmet needs within the London Borough Of Newham. We see approximately 200 users per week, we are one of the largest organisations in the country specifically working for Asian Elders.

Subco's work is strongly supported by the London Borough of Newham and the Newham Primary Care Trust as well as the local voluntary sectors.

Subco works towards the empowerment of elders, assisting them in accessing services they are entitled to whilst campaigning for services they need that are culturally, religiously and linguistically appropriate
