We are receiving heart-breaking phone calls from local older people, some of whom are having to make the difficult choice between heating their home or buying food. Issues such as ill health, bereavement and reduced mobility can also bring their own challenges, often making it harder for older people to stay connected and leaving them feeling isolated and desperately lonely.

This Winter, a donation from you will help us to support as many of these people as we possibly can.

Our team are on hand to give advice that is urgently needed and help those eligible to access benefits, winter fuel payments, cheaper water tariffs, grants for white goods, plus food bank vouchers. Well help them to access services and support to keep them connected and to help them feel less lonely. Well be there to ensure those facing poverty and loneliness have somewhere to turn.

Donations, big and small, all help. Whatever you're able to give, you can help us make all the difference this Christmas, and beyond. Thank you for your support.
