Did you know, that 225,000 older people often go for a week without speaking to anyone?
Age UK and over 100 local Age UKs across the country work to combat loneliness through a range of services and activities, such as befriending, home visits and lunch clubs as well as advice and support when there’s no one else to turn to. The Charity relies on donations from the public, so it can continue to be there for older people and their families and friends.
Not only that, but Age UK helps more than seven million older people each year by providing advice and support. It also researches and campaigns on the issues that matter most to older people. Its work focuses on ensuring that older people: have enough money; enjoy life and feel well; receive high quality health and care; are comfortable, safe and secure at home; and feel valued and able to participate.
So please help us raise some much needed funds to support Age UK with the amazing work it's doing!
