Story

#TaketheLunge to Help Fight Loneliness in Later Life

Our minibus provides so much more than a shopping service. It offers friendships, excursions, laughter and adventure for older isolated Londoners. Some of the service users would never be able to leave their homes if our supported shopping trips were not available to them. They truly look forward to their fortnightly trips and many regular users call each other up and keep in touch when they're not together on the bus. Join the #TaketheLunge campaign today to throw a lifeline to those in isolation and help us fight loneliness in later life.

We've made our challenge accessible to people of all ages. With seated lunges for the less mobile, superhero lunges for the whole family and the classic lunge for those more serious about fitness.

You've got 2 options to enter:

OPTION 1: #TakeTheLunge *light*

The first option is for all fitness levels. You just need to do 50 lunges, donate £5 and share this link tagging 5 friends on social media asking them to do the same with #TaketheLunge and @AgeUKHF

OPTION 2: #TakeTheLunge 500 Challenge

Take on the 500 lunge challenge! You can take as many sets and days as you need before 20th October. How long will it take you? Ask your family, friends and co-workers to sponsor you with your own Just Giving page so you can get in shape while taking a stand against isolation in later life!

Whatever challenge you decide to take on, make sure to share it on social media with #TaketheLunge and tag us at @ageukHF so that we can cheer you on!

It's the freedom of seeing something different. Knowing that I am going to enjoy it- Lillian Urban
