Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The golden-Oldies charity is now in its fifth year, putting smiles on hundreds of faces through singing sessions across the West of England and Wales.

"Goldies" sets out to promote and sustain independence in the growing elderly UK population. However, as "Goldies" has grown, they have welcomed many people to their sessions who have learning difficulties or suffer from Dementia or Alzheimers.

Their singing and stretching sessions across the West of England and Wales give people, some who may be lonely and vulnerable, social events and concerts to look forward to and enjoy.

They organize fun daytime singing sessions and other organised events that bring together people and promote social cohesion.


Golden-Oldies also offers a platform so that people who attend the sessions (and their families) learn more about all aspects of a healthy lifestyle. This can include nutritional guidance, home security, help and advice on how life can be lived to the full, whatever your age! Goldies encourages people to venture out from their homes and make new friends.

By raising funds for the Golden-Oldies we will help to ensure that they can continue to provide these sessions that are in such high demand and carry on with the great work they do.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
