The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileThe pandemic has increased the number of older people experiencing a significant decline in their health and wellbeing and exacerbated loneliness and isolation, with countless older people spending day after day alone with only the television for company. Too many older people are also facing the impossible choice of eating or turning their heating on this winter. No one should be put in this position.
Donating £5 helps us to provide a Bag of Support containing items to offer comfort and reassurance to those most vulnerable, including those who are housebound or living alone.
Donating £15 enables us to offer befriending support and regular Connect magazines to a local older person.
Donating £25 enables us to provide help to an older person returning home from hospital or provide welfare checks to those most in need.
It is estimated that 40% of older households in the UK are living in fuel poverty. This means that once their heating bills are paid, their remaining income falls below the official poverty line.
We are grateful for any amount you can donate and together we are able to support and be there for older people who need us most this Winter. Thank You.
