Imagine having no one. Pandemics may end, but loneliness continues...The campaign aims to raise funds to support the core services offered by the charity to prevent loneliness and isolation.

Story

The pandemic has raised the demand for the services we offer. This, aligned with difficulties in fundraising to support these services, has created a "perfect storm" which is why the charity is requesting your help. Services such as befriending, information and advice, and independent living not only provide people with social opportunities to help overcome the isolation they are feeling but also support them to stay living independently. Help us to help more older people who desperately need our support now.

I have not ran in over 5 years so this will probably be my biggest challenge to date! Every penny you can spare will help me run, walk or even crawl that extra yard!
