Marketing Purks 300 Miles in October · 31 October 2026

It’s a sad reality that older people are particularly vulnerable to social isolation or loneliness owing to loss of friends and family, mobility or income. It can be a terrible and frightening experience to see no-one for days on end. Every one of us is getting older, and regardless of circumstance it is something that we will all have to contend with. Hopefully, most people have the benefit of friends and family to help them along life’s journey. Sadly, many older people living in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan do not have this security and are all alone facing the uncertainty that old age can often bring. They may be recovering from illness or bereavement, struggling to cope financially or cope in any one or a dozen of ways. At Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale they find practical help and advice and people who care about the challenges they face. Our local charity makes a huge difference to the lives of so many older people who have nowhere else to turn and often are vulnerable, isolated and in poverty.

Story

This October, Daisy, Izzie and Jess from Marketing Purks are taking on a 300-mile walking challenge to raise £300 for Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale.

Starting on 1st October, International Day of Older Persons, we’ll be walking a combined 300 miles throughout the month to support the fantastic work Age Connects does for older people in our local communities.

We wanted to take on a challenge that would bring us together, get us moving and, most importantly, raise money and awareness for a cause that makes a real difference.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help us towards our £300 target and support Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale in continuing their important work.

Thank you for supporting us, now it’s time to get those miles in! 💜🚶‍♀️
