Across the country, Kissing it Better's imaginative healthcare projects enhance the lives of older people in hospitals, care homes and the community. Our work gives young people the chance to show what they can do to make a difference - so the young feel valuable and the old feel valued.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have volunteered for KIB for 2 years, i have seen the staggering benefits the charity provides for the elderly in carehomes and in hospitals. Every Monday (before covid) i would walk down to the hospital and volunteer for the charity, our main aim was to increase morale within the wards with the elderly. First hand i have seen how much you can make someones day by just speaking to them about their day and how there feeling. It is staggering, as a lot of the elderly people i would speak to, normally wouldn't have much family and were sometimes confused to why they were there and were feeling a bit lonely and down but what the charity brings is a sense of comfort and warmth for these patients who maybe haven't even had a conversation with someone for maybe days/ weeks or even months.
