Story

The Coronavirus pandemic has affected us all and in particular older people who may be vulnerable or living alone. Demand for our support has increased dramatically but with many fundraising events and activities cancelled or postponed, we urgently need donations so we can keep providing vital support to those who need us.

Many older people are facing isolation and extreme loneliness and need support now more than ever. Although we have had to temporarily close our clubs and social activities, we have continued to offer information and advice as well as befriending phone calls and meal deliveries to those most in need. We've also adapted other services to ensure we can reach as many people as possible, including those living with or caring for someone with dementia.

Whatever you can donate today will enable us to keep providing this support so that all older people have someone to turn to during these challenging times.

About the charity

We help thousands of local older people, their families and carers, every year by providing support services, information, activities and events to help reduce loneliness, isolation and poverty.
