Through taking on Step Up! you are helping us to continue supporting at-risk older people at this time of crisis across Britain.

Coronavirus means thousands of older and vulnerable people are facing months of self-isolation. For those who live on their own, this is a frightening prospect. With no one to collect their food or prescriptions, and no one to talk to them and calm their fears many older people are wondering how they will cope.

With your help we can give older and vulnerable people the support they desperately need to get through this extremely difficult time.

Raising £50 could help us make a twice weekly call to ten people who are self-isolating and send a volunteer to pick up groceries and essential medications.
