It’s a sad reality that older people are particularly vulnerable to social isolation or loneliness owing to loss of friends and family, mobility or income. It can be a terrible and frightening experience to see no-one for days on end. Every one of us is getting older, and regardless of circumstance it is something that we will all have to contend with. Hopefully, most people have the benefit of friends and family to help them along life’s journey. Sadly, many older people living in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan do not have this security and are all alone facing the uncertainty that old age can often bring. They may be recovering from illness or bereavement, struggling to cope financially or cope in any one or a dozen of ways. At Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale they find practical help and advice and people who care about the challenges they face. Our local charity makes a huge difference to the lives of so many older people who have nowhere else to turn and often are vulnerable, isolated and in poverty.

Story

The 2.6 Challenge is your chance to be a Home Hero and raise funds from your very own living room, bedroom, balcony or garden! There are no rules apart from the Government guidelines on how to exercise safely during this time. The main thing is to get active, have fun, pledge whatever you can to help or fundraise to support vulnerable and isolated older people living in our communities.

All you need to do is dream up an activity with the number 26 in it. It could be something as simple as pledging to run or ride 2.6 miles, hopping on the spot for 26 minutes, shooting 26 goals or hula hooping 26 times!

Every penny you raise will help support our charity work at this time. We are receiving hundreds of calls every day from concerned older people and their families and we are working hard to carry out shopping and prescription collections. We urgently need donations to keep up with demand so please help us to help local older people who need us now more than ever!
