Raising money for

Age Concern Help the Aged NI

Charity Registration No. XT14600

Age Concern Northern Ireland and Help the Aged in Northern Ireland have come together to create a new, independent charity for older people in Northern Ireland.

We believe creating a single new charity is the best way to ensure a better life for older people here: bringing together our resources will bring significant benefits for older people and will improve our ability to deliver essential services at a time of increasing need.

It is a sad situation but older people continue to be underrepresented in society and to experience neglect, live in poverty and be discriminated against. We are determined to fight to redress these issues to create a world where older people flourish. Our commitment continues to lobby government, provide valuable services and to campaign to improve the lives of older people now and in the future. We believe that through the continued support of our partners and donors and by putting older people at the heart of everything we do; this vision is achievable.

My story

Thank you for visiting the Can't Heat or Eat donations page.

Older people are being hit twice as hard by the recent rises in food and fuel prices. They are suffering the most because a higher proportion of their money goes on heating and eating.

2,500 older people will die in Northern Ireland this winter because their homes are too cold. People support the work of the Can't Heat or Eat Campaign ensuring older people eat and stay warm this winter.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to support the Can't Heat or Eat Campaign, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Please support us now.

The Can't Heat or Eat Campaign is a joint venture between Help the Aged in Northern Ireland, Age Concern Northern Ireland and the Age Sector Platform.

Note: The fundraising element of this campaign is being administered by Age Concern Northern Ireland - all funds raised will be used to support the whole campaign.
