Re-engage is dedicated to fighting loneliness in old age. We help people over 75 who are facing loneliness and social isolation to re-engage with their communities through regular social contact, giving them a lifeline of friendship and something to look forward to. We have also recently launched call companions; our telephone befriending service for thousands of vulnerable older people in the UK.

Story

Hello and thank you for visiting my fund raising page.

On July 6 I'll be running in the British 10k London Run on behalf of "Contact The Elderly".

Contact The Elderly is a small national charity with a staggeringly simple but equally effective idea. Contact The Elderly volunteers provide regular tea parties for groups of elderly people who might otherwise go for weeks on end with no social contact. It really is that simple but of course it takes money. And that's where you come in. Please sponsor me and if you can tick the box so that we can claim the tax bonus that will really help. I've paid my own entry fee to this event and I'm aiming at £300.

In April Jonathan Ross did a very good "Lifeline Appeal" on BBC on behalf of Contact the Elderly. Follow this link to see the excerpt at www.bbc.co.uk/lifeline/lifeline_archive.shtml

Thanks once again. Ciro ps. A massive thankyou also to the people who have sponsored me offline:

The John Brown-'Code' people, Steve R and Alexander from the Alfa Club and Mahesh from Pink House Design!
