On 11th November 2020, Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin will mark 70 years of making a difference to the lives of older people across the county. To celebrate we are asking fundraisers to complete a Platinum Challenge and raise funds to support older people in three key areas:
- Reducing loneliness and isolation
- Supporting people living with dementia
- Providing information and advice
The numbers of older people needing support have most likely risen from these figures due to the pandemic. During this difficult time, we were able to adjust services and meet the needs of local older people but as we move through the pandemic we will need your help to continue the support given across Telford & Shropshire.
