Christa's fundraiser for Upper Norwood Association for Community Care

Christa Douthwaite is raising money for Upper Norwood Association for Community Care

Thames Bridges Trek 2025 · 13 September 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

We're a lunch and social club for the elderly providing a fun environment, nutritious food in a social atmosphere and companionship, we assist with everyday essential life. This could include form filling, benefits advice, card writing or even a shoulder to cry on. Most of our members live alone and some do not have any family to help out, so it is imperative that UNACC is able to continue to help these people.

On 13th September, I’m taking on the Thames Bridges Trek with my sister in law Tracy to help save UNACC.

UNACC is a small local charity in Croydon doing incredible work to reduce loneliness for older people – and it’s now under threat of closure. My mum has been attending for the last few years and it has provided her with friends and recreation at a time when, living alone and having gone through some very sad events, she may otherwise have faced loneliness and isolation.

These spaces are vital in our increasingly disconnected world. Please help us keep this amazing place alive so it can continue to support her and so many others like her who depend on it to keep in touch with the outside world
