<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">On the 3<sup>rd</sup> of April 2011 we will be attempting the 25 Mile Team Blubberhouse Moor Hike, in aid of the charity, Age Concern Wakefield District.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">This walk is part of their target to raise £10,000 by March 2012, which is HUGE- so please send this page on to anyone you know who would help donate money.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Age Concern Wakefield District is a local charity for local people and all funding has to be sourced locally. As such it relies each year on the generosity of those who give both time and donations to the Organisation in order that it can continue to care for vulnerable older people within the district.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is easy to put to one side some of the basic issues that older people can face because we would all prefer not to think about them! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But where the support of family and friends is limited or absent we often are asked to help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through our Information and Advice Service older people are helped through a maze of financial and personal issues, trained staff work with volunteers to help relieve loneliness, offer support after bereavement or hospital admission, and run groups and activities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In any one year we help to meet the needs of over 6,000 older people and their friends and families.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">With your help we can improve the health and wellbeing of vulnerable older people by ensuring that they have contact with the services they need and receive the support that they deserve.
