Dust off your Christmas glad rags and raise funds to support some of the most vulnerable older people in our borough this Christmas.

Let's face it, 2020 hasn't give us many opportunities to dress up, which is why on 17 December we're inviting you to showcase your pretty frock, dig out your embarrassing Christmas jumper, or don those Santa socks you've been hiding at the back or your draw since you received them in your stocking last year. By doing this you could help us to raise vital funds for Age Concern Merstham, Redhill and Reigate (ACMRR).

*PLEASE ADD YOUR FULL NAME TO YOUR DONATION SO WE CAN CLAIM WTW MATCHING.*

Donations are in support of ACMRR, a small local charity which is committed to making sure that no one in later life feels alone. The charity promotes the well-being of older people in our borough, making later life a fulfilling and enjoyable experience. 

The Charity's services include:

• A day centre in Merstham providing lunches, activities, advice, various support services and (crucially) friendship for many local residents
• A befriending service, matching volunteers with members and providing weekly contact to those on their own. This has proved even more vital during COVID-19 and helped elderly members feel more connected and less isolated
• Gift parcels containing puzzles and books to keep members entertained
• Fresh flowers and groceries for those unable to get out 

The Charity needs your help in order to continue running these services in 2021 and beyond. All donations are incredibly appreciated.
