Story

Our London Landmark Half Marathon runners are raising funds for our Men's Club. Every £10 donated pays to recruit, support and train one volunteer for one month! This invaluable project tailored specifically for men is tackling social isolation in older men due to a loss of a partner / friends, illness or confidence. Members are included in all the decisions and choices about the activities. We often offer these activities at little or no cost with transport provided. During these activities friendships around common interests blossom. As an independent, community charity your money gets straight to where it is needed and really does made a difference. See what our members say ... "... the Age Concern Mens club has been a blessing in a sea of utter confusion after the death of my wife." "... the club has been a life saver for me, to have some mens company and some games, gives me something to look forward to"

About the charity

In Epsom & Ewell each week 1 in 5 elderly people don't know who to turn to for advice, friendship or practical help. So every week that is what we do! Spending time, providing affordable taxi driving, providing practical services for them and giving advice. All essential services!
