Lockdown laughs, 12 April 2020
We are calling on the Great British public to help us raise funds to help our older people in this time of national crisis.

Story

We're Isla (11) and Otis (8) and we wanted to find a way to help people during the Corona virus lockdown.

Like you probably are, we're looking for things to do while we're stuck at home during lockdown. We're interested in what our dad does at work, so we asked him if he could show us how to make a website.

We also love telling each other jokes so we thought that we could share our favourites with you on lockdownlaughs.com to make you smile too. Then if you chuckle, hopefully you'll want to say thanks by donating to help those fighting the Corona virus.

As well as cheering people up, we wanted to raise money for those helping us all during the lockdown. Please give if you can.

Most people will feel lonely at some point in their lives. It’s a deeply personal experience that - in most cases - will thankfully pass. 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.
