It's that time of year again to don my runners and raise some pennies for my lovely elderly ladies and man!

I am now in my 8th year volunteering for Contact The Elderly and the hosts, the drivers, the co-ordinators and of course the elderly guests have so much fun. It is an incredibly worthwhile cause, getting the guests out of the house, chatting about anything and everything and getting spoilt rotten by the amazing hosts' tea, cakes and the occasional drop of sherry!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
