Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am one of a group of 70 terrific people who are running to raise money for our wonderful charity, Contact the Elderly.  www.contact-the-elderly.org.uk We offer a lifeline for socially isolated older people and organise Sunday afternoon tea parties and friendship on a monthly basis UK wide. Apart from donating you may wish to become involved as a driver or host or both. Please let me know and I will be delighted to send you literature and an application form. I can assure you that you will have so much fun and will change the lives of many old people by volunteering.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Contact The Elderly gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!

Thanks so much, David Whittaker

Re-engage is dedicated to fighting loneliness in old age. We help people over 75 who are facing loneliness and social isolation to re-engage with their communities through regular social contact, giving them a lifeline of friendship and something to look forward to. We have also recently launched call companions; our telephone befriending service for thousands of vulnerable older people in the UK.
