50 Years of Supporting Older People in Need

Organised by Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale

2024 marks our charity 50th anniversary. We plan to celebrate with 50 days of fundraising starting on International Older Persons Day on the 1st October and will run until the 19th November. Please support us and make a much needed donation.

Story

Imagine feeling all alone to face the uncertainties that old age often brings without family or friends to help. The impact of isolation, loneliness, and poverty can have a devastating effect on their health and wellbeing. Far too many older people know just how this feel. Last year alone Age Connects supported over 6000 people.

Age Connects support services include offering benefits checks, advocacy in care settings and the community, toenail cutting, befriending support, help with daily tasks such as shopping and handling correspondence and much needed companionship.

2024 marks our charity 50 year anniversary and the need to help vulnerable and isolated older people is sadly greater than ever. Can you help us help?

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.

We did it!
