As a local charity born out of the second world war, we have been helping the older people of Norwich navigate through national emergencies, crises and financial downturns for over 75 years, and today is no different.

As a result of the restrictions of the coronavirus outbreak and with the over-70s at a high risk and self-isolating, our services are in demand now more than ever - especially for those who have no one else to turn to at this extremely anxious and scary time.

We are working hard to make sure we can actively respond to the challenges older people of Norwich are facing, and that the vital services we provide, such as befriending, information and advice, and physical and mental wellbeing can continue - all in an online world which not everyone has ability to access.

But without our regular fundraising activities these services will be severely affected at a time when they are needed the most, and thats why we desperately need your support today.

By donating to Age UK Norwich today you can help us provide:

> A telephone befriending service to give an important lifeline to an older person, helping them know they are not alone

> Reassurance and safety through our information and advice telephone and online service

> Collaboration with other local business, organisations and social enterprises to help older people get access to the services they need most

> Services that ensures older people know how to get food and medicine delivered

> Online resources to help maintain physical and mental wellbeing whilst self-isolation
