We bring joy to UK seniors to reduce loneliness and social isolation

Story

I'm celebrating my 60th birthday on 5th March and I would love you to celebrate it with me. Instead of receiving gifts from family and friends I would prefer you to make a donation to a charity that is close to my, and Brian's, hearts... Home Instead Charities.

This amazing charity supports lonely and isolated ageing adults all over the country to stay physically well and emotionally connected. This year has been really tough for some people who do not have family or friends nearby to support them through the COVID pandemic particularly as seniors have been told to isolate to keep safe. 

Home Instead Charities supports local grass root organisations to reach out to people in their communities who are really struggling. The charity funds online crafting sessions, zoom workouts, activity packs and puzzles, mobile phones and even Facebook portals to ensure as many people as possible are emotionally connected.

Did you know that loneliness can increase a persons risk of developing dementia by 40% AND is as bad for physical health as smoking 15 cigarettes per day! 

Please donate to help support lonely ageing adults who don't have anyone else to rely on.

About the charity

Home Instead Charities was established to bring joy to UK seniors through activities and social events with the aim of preventing loneliness and social isolation. We provide grants to local community groups that bring seniors together to promote positive physical and mental wellbeing.
