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

In September, I'll be riding 220 miles in 3 days on a bike I don't own yet all in aid of Independent Age. I haven't cycled long distance for many years so I have decided it makes perfect sense to cycle from London to Paris in just over two months! The money I raise will be used to buy computers and tablets for the elderly and If I survive the trip, I'll be spending some time training them on how to use their new device.

It is estimated that 5.3 million over 65 year olds in the UK have never been online and 3.8 million of these are living alone. Providing them with tablets / computers will help them stay connected with the world and with their families, and as an internet based company, we feel that this is something we can help with. 

Any donation to help me hit my fundraising target would be much appreciated. :)
