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, 3.9 million older people say the TV is their main source of company and 1 million will spend Christmas alone. Donating to this page will help the national Age UK to continue providing vital services that offer companionship, advice and support for millions of older people facing later life alone.

To celebrate our 25th birthday, a team from the Oakhouse Foods head office are walking 25 kilometres in May. So please donate to this page to sponsor us, and help Age UK continue help the elderly love later life.
