Story
After a year of uncertainty, anxiety and loneliness we're determined to bring Christmas to our older friends in Hammersmith and Fulham. We'll be inviting some of our regulars for a festive feast at the centre with entertainment. With the help of our partners, Waitrose, we will also be delivering a Christmas lunch and festive hamper full of seasonal treats plus a phone call from a befriender to those who are all alone.
We're hoping to raise £800 to deliver a Christmas hamper and cooked lunch for those who are on our befriended list who will be alone during the holidays. The more we are able to raise the more people we can reach out to this holiday season. We hope that, with your help, we can reach every one. Because now more than ever, no one should have no one.
By donating today, you'll be helping to bring cheer to older people who have little or no contact with others. Those who are often unable to leave their homes due to illness or disability. Some of our older friends also suffer mental health issues or anxiety now exacerbated in the face of this awful pandemic.
Let's come together to make our plans a reality this Christmas - no one should have to face the holidays alone. Please donate whatever you can to help us bring the magic of Christmas to more.
"Age UK H&F provide such a wonderful service to those who need it in our community and we look forward to helping at Xmas time. We wont let Covid get in the way of us Giving a little love and making sure Xmas remains special to us all"- Waitrose Manager Steven
