Story

It's a scary time for everyone...

But imagine for ten seconds that you are older, self-isolating, frightened, bombarded by bad news and alone. That's the reality for many older people we support in Lincoln & South Lincolnshire right now.

Covid-19 is a public health emergency and not "just a cold" for older people. We need your help to ensure we can continue to deliver our vital services during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Your selfless donation could go towards:

- Emergency food packages for older people in Lincolnshire.

- Shopping, medication delivery and other essential supplies to those in self-isolation.

- Vital phone calls from one of our incredible Befrienders to combat loneliness in this frightening time.

- Welfare checks and making adaptations to the homes of older people where necessary.

- Providing information and advice which includes benefit claims and checks .
