Story

On 10 October 2025 we have a team who will take on the Kelpies Challenge in Scotland to raise vital funds for charity partner Re-engage. This iconic event is about more than miles. It is about making sure no older person feels forgotten or alone.

Loneliness is one of the biggest issues facing older people today, with many going days without speaking to anyone. Re-engage creates life-changing connections through tea parties, activity groups and regular phone calls. These simple acts bring joy, purpose and friendship back into people’s lives.

By supporting the Kelpies Challenge you will help older people rediscover the comfort of companionship and the feeling of being valued.

* £5 could help enable a lonely older person to put a monthly social event in their otherwise empty calendar.

* £28 could help fund a place at a tea party.

* £250 could fund a whole year of weekly phone calls.
