Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I've worked in the charity sector for many years but I've never embarked on anything like this before. Age Concern Morgannwg's Reaching Out Fund means a great deal to me personally, having seen the devastating effect bereavement can have on older people, so I really want to do something to support it.
Age Concern Morgannwg does great work locally and here's some of the ways in which we make sure your money reaches those that need it most:
· 1 donation to our Information and Advice Service can generate an average of £63 of income for older people in poverty
· £5 pays for a volunteer’s expenses to visit an isolated older person in their own home twice a month
· £10 pays for 20 minutes of engaging activities in a care home setting
· £75 pays for hiring a community centre for a day to provide activities for isolated older people in their local area
· £100 trains one member of staff/volunteer to provide engaging activities in a care home or community setting
· £500 provides a Christmas Party for 50 older people who would otherwise not be celebrating Christmas
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
