Raising money for

Age Concern England

Charity Registration No. 261794

Age Concern is the UK's largest organisation working for and with older people. In England, we are a federation of over 400 charities working together to promote the well-being of all older people. Age Concern's work ranges from providing vital local services to influencing public opinion and government. Every day we are in touch with thousands of older people from all kinds of backgrounds - enabling them to make more of life.

On 1 April 2009, Age Concern England and Help the Aged joined together to create a new charity dedicated to improving the lives of older people.

Operating under the name ‘Age Concern and Help the Aged’, we speak with one voice on behalf of all older people.

My story

Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time...

The trek to Kilimanjaro will be hard, but I know that with your support I'll be able to do it.

I've set up a training blog so you can keep up with my training programme and progress towards the trek over the next five months.

It is here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/climb_kili06/ As a teaser: I'm giving up drinking for the month of October and will be donating my beer money to the total. Donating through this site is simple and secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Age Concern England will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you, which will enable them to do more to improve the lives of more older people. With an aging population, there will certainly be plenty of people who need our help. Many thanks for your support, Ben
