Hello, Thank you for taking
the time to read our JustGiving page.
On the 20th March
2010 Sarah and I will be jumping out of a plane 14,000ft up. Yes, that’s right
we are actually doing a sponsored
Tandern Skydive. Believe us when we
say we are absolutely scared stiff and seriously doubting our sanity!
“So why do it” I
hear you say.
Well, the reason is,
we are jumping to raise awareness and money for vulnerable older people in
need. We want to help change the lives of those who are often
forgotten. Older people, in their
final years, are routinely treated unequally compared to younger people in our
society in terms of opportunities for health care and social support.
Please help us to
fight poverty, isolation and neglect among older people by making a donation to
our just giving page.
About Age Concern
StockportEvery day we live we
get older, it’s just a fact! This adventure is often compared with a
journey. Some people come to unfamiliar junctions along that road through
changes in their health, bereavement and any number of other situations
frequently not foreseen and sometimes unimagined in earlier years.
Sometimes the road
gets a little bumpy, enough to take the pleasure away from everyday living.
Wherever older people are on that journey, our ambition is to be the first
point of contact to provide or point to whatever assistance is required.
Our vision is for
communities where older people are involved, valued and in control of their own
lives.
A donation to Age Concern
Stockport can:
~ Help an older person
enjoy life again
~ Help an older person
feel safe and secure in their own home
~ Help to prevent an
older person from being abused
Many thanks for donating generously!
