Abseil the St David's Hotel · 21 August 2022 ·

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

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. On August 21st I will be taking on the amazing challenge of abseiling 131ft down St David's Hotel to help support vulnerable and isolated older people in need living within our communities.

Age Connects has been supporting older people living in the Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan communities for almost 50 years. They provide community based services such as shopping, transport, befriending and simple practical help which is a lifeline to those needing extra assistance to remain independent in their own home. They also help with information and advice, benefit checks, care home advocacy, toenail cutting and support when being discharged from a hospital stay to name a few.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
