Story
Make a donation today to support older, vulnerable people in Lewisham & Southwark
Due to the ongoing increases in the cost of living, more older people than ever need our support. Many older people who live on fixed incomes are struggling to stay warm, healthy and safe.
Sadly, our Information and Advice service waiting list may have to close, as a result of unprecedented demand. We currently have over a hundred people on the waiting list, and some of these vulnerable older people may be waiting over three months to hear back from our team. Three months is too long.
What I can't believe was we spoke on the Thursday and you rung me up with good news on the Monday that I've got a bed, which I haven't had for a long time
These are people like Susan, who need our help today.
• £11.50 could help us pick up the phone, listen and discuss what steps we can take – the start of our journey working with an older person
• £50 could help us visit an older person, who may be unable to leave their home and needs our help
Whatever you may be able to donate, your support will make a huge difference and help us reach more people, even sooner.
