Story

Hey everyone!

I’m running the Richmond 10K in September to raise money for Age UK, a fantastic organisation that truly makes a difference in the lives of older people. Age UK is dedicated to making sure every older person feels included and valued—whether through providing free advice and information, tackling loneliness and isolation, or campaigning for their rights.

My 86-year-old nan gets a lot from her local Age UK centre—she attends weekly social groups, craft sessions, cinema afternoons, musical events, and uses visiting services like chiropody. These experiences help her stay connected, active, and happy, and have significantly boosted her health and wellbeing through fun physical, social, and mental activities.

Your support will help Age UK continue offering these vital social opportunities for older people like my nan. Thanks so much for your generosity!
