Independent Age is the national charity focused on improving the lives of people facing financial hardship in later life. Our helpline and advisers offer free, practical support to older people and with our grants programme, we support organisations working with older people across the UK.

Story

At VoucherCodes.co.uk we have teamed up with Independent Age to work on an exciting volunteering project to help improve the lives of a part of the community often left behind in today's technological age. It is estimated in the UK that 5.3 million people over the age of 65 have never been online. This part of the community often live in isolation with 3.8 million people living alone. As an internet based company, we feel that we can make a difference to people's lives by helping them gain the confidence to get connected online. We will be partnering with the charity to supply computers/tablets to some of their members before our team volunteers to carry out training sessions on how to use the internet.

To fund the project, a number of brave members of Team VC will be risking extreme saddle pain and aching limbs by taking on a three day cycle challenge between our London and Paris offices at the end of September. Please help make our efforts worthwhile by  helping us reach our fundraising target.

Thank you for your support!
