From Alex Urquhart, Director - "I Wanna Do Christmas With You (Again)":
In my 9 to 5, I work as an Advocate for people who lack mental capacity. The majority of those that I work with are people with dementia, staying in care homes. Every day I see first-hand the importance of company and support for vulnerable elderly people, so this is a cause very close to my heart.
Our video is a bit of silly Christmas fun but loneliness at Christmas is a serious issue, and 2020 has been particularly tough for the elderly. We want all those that enjoyed our video to give to Age UK, who work to support the elderly all year round. Older people are so often forgotten in our society, but they are at the heart of everything Age UK do.
Sadly, 2.65m older people feel they have no one to turn to for help and around 3.9m older people consider TV to be their main form of company. Donating to this page will help the national Age UK to continue providing vital services that offer companionship, advice and support for older people facing later life alone.
Please BE GENEROUS & Merry Christmas!
