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

Hello! 

I'm riding 200 miles to Paris next week and I'd really love your support and donations. I'll be covering the distance over three days with my lovely colleagues and to-date I've done zero training! It's going to hurt, but I'm ready for the pain. No pain-no-gain! 

We are aiming to complete the ride to raise money for a volunteering project we are working on with the charity Independent Age. An estimated 5.3 million over 65 year olds in the UK have never been online and 3.8 million live alone. As an internet company, we want to make a difference to the lives of people in this part of the community by supporting the charity and helping their members keep connected in an increasingly digital age. 

Thank you for your support. You're the best!
