Say No to Socks, Get a Gift You'll Remember
As the festive season approaches, we're pleased to announce the launch of our Christmas fundraising campaign ‘Say No to Socks, Get a Gift You'll Remember’.
Story
Are you tired of receiving unwanted, dust-collecting presents year after year? This festive season, why not make a meaningful change by receiving gifts that truly make a difference? Ask family and friends to make charitable donations instead of naff gifts and make it a year to remember.
Age UK Lambeth is committed to ensuring that no older person in our community is left behind during the holiday season. That’s why this year's campaign is dedicated to addressing the many challenges faced by older people in our community by asking people to replace those unwanted and forgettable presents with something that matters most: support for older people in our community who need it.
Donations will go towards essential services, including our energy and money support that helps people with their energy bills and benefits, our community cafes that offer free food and warm spaces, and our friendship services that help people avoid loneliness and make friends.
How to get involved:
Step 1 - Set up your Just Giving page
Step 2 - Share the link with family and friends
Step 3 - Sit back, relax and watch the donations roll in
No help goes unnoticed:
Not able to create a fundraiser? No worries! You could simply donate to our Christmas fundraising appeal here!
We are also looking for volunteers to participate in our MY hohoho campaign. We are asking local volunteers to cook and deliver an extra Christmas meal for an older person in Lambeth.
Christmas is a time for joy and togetherness, but for many older adults in Lambeth, it can be a time of great hardship. The cost of living crisis has left many of us struggling to make ends meet, and we believe that no one should have to face these challenges alone," - Paul Coles, CEO of Age UK Lambeth
