Story

We have always wanted to do more to support the elderly, and this is the year we do it! 🎄🎅🏾❤️🤶🏼

Please help us donate to Age UK Westminster to ensure they can create as many hampers as possible for the elderly in need this holiday season. 

A note from Age UK Westminster:

*****

'Covid-19 has had a devastating effect on the older people we support. Most have gone from being active and independent to being isolated in their homes; the effect this is having on their mental health will probably stay with them for a long time. Social distancing has led to a huge and sudden increase in social isolation and loneliness; therefore, we feel that the delivery of this service, during what is seen as the loneliest time of the year, as crucial.'

*****

The usual festive lunches they normally organise will not be happening either this year, so these hampers have never been more important.  A little cheer is an actual lifeline to people who otherwise may receive nothing, and be alone over the holidays.

*****

And as this program is not funded, but runs only by donations - we need your help!

*

Please help us make sure that Age UK Westminster has the resources, to create hampers for as many people as possible this season.  🎁

*

All donations are appreciated. Big, small - or if you're a brand and have product (or anything else that could help add some festive cheer), please do get in touch (ujselect@urbanjunkies.com). 

*

This is the year we all come together to make sure no one is left behind over the holidays. 

Thank you!
