Story

Hi Everyone, 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

I am running the 5K Adidas Women's Challenge ( my 1st attempt ever at anything like this) on 5th September  to raise money for the charity Contact the Elderly(CtE).

I first heard of CtE when I did a project for them last year.

Contact the Elderly is a very simple but amazing concept - It organises monthly tea parties/outings usually on Sunday afternoon for people over 75 who live alone or don't  have the support of family and friends.


All proceeds will go to making their experience more fun & they of all people deserve it the most!

So friends, dig deep & donate with your heart!!

Remember it could be you!!

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.

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.
