Wing Walk Challenge for Age UK STW · 21 May 2025

We are celebrating 75 years of supporting local older people. Help us raise £75,000 to combat loneliness and isolation. Your support funds vital services like befriending and social activities. Let’s change how we age—together.

Story

Hello everybody,

I'm Christine, an 80+ yr. old widow, Mother of 3, Grandmother of 5, and they all call me Crazy Nana!

I thought I needed to do something exciting before I kicked the bucket, So, I thought why not a Wing Walk? I could make it an exciting fundraiser while I'm at it!

I heard that Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin were celebrating their 75th anniversary and decided to raise money towards their fundraising appeal and support local older people who struggle with feeling lonely.

A percentage of the funds will also go to support the Market Drayton Day Centre which I attend regularly and is one of the many groups Age UK provides to bring people together and socialise.

My wing walk is on the 21st May at Cirencester so wish me lots of luck and I would very much appreciate any donations to support me in my fundraising challenge!

Thank you :)

- Christine
