Fundraising for Age UK Westminster

raised
Help us combat loneliness in Westminster by providing befriending, a regular range of activities, forums, volunteering opportunities, and confidence building for older residents.

Story

New analysis by Age UK has found that 198,000 older people in London can go for a month without meeting up with a friend, and that 19,000 over 65s in the region have not even had a conversation with family or friends over the same period. Many people experience loneliness at some point in their lives. For the majority the feeling of loneliness passes, yet for some it can persist, undermining their well-being and impacting negatively on their quality of life. We are here to change that with our activities, befriending, forums, and more - offering older people in Westminster the chance to combat loneliness and empower them.
