I feel safe … Age UK York are like a warm blanket (Beryl in Acomb)
Each day many older people struggle with loneliness, social isolation and extreme poverty and this winter their needs will only increase.
Age UK York is York's local and independent Age UK. We have existed for over 50 years to be there to help tackle these challenges and aim to be the first port of call for anyone with an age-related need.
In York more than one in four of residents have shared that they experience loneliness and across our City a third of older people live alone.
We cannot though take on this crisis alone. We need your help and trust so together we can offer this lifeline to older people in need across York.
We are hoping to raise funds so that we can continue to offer friendship, support at home, help and advice about finances and deliver warm winter packs.
All the funds kindly given in support of Age UK York's Winter Campaign - every single penny - will go to supporting local people in York.
Every person matters. Our wonderful team of staff and volunteers tackle these scourges of loneliness, isolation and poverty each day providing an array of services, a helping hand and a listening ear. You can play a crucial role in our story, and those we help, by kindly supporting our local charity and the difference we can make. Together.
940,000 older people aged 65+ in the UK say the're often or always lonely.
So many of us are so fortunate to have older relatives, friends and neighbours and please help us be there for fellow older residents of York this winter and beyond.
Let's Stamp Out Loneliness. Together.
Thank you for your kind support.
