Story

I volunteer with Vintage Vibes Edinburgh (a partnership between LifeCare Edinburgh and Space). It breaks my heart to think of any little oldies sitting alone and feeling forgotten. We have so much to learn from them and can bring so much joy through friendship, so I'm going to trot out a 10k run on 25th May to raise funds for this awesome charity!

Our charity's vision is a city where no older person is alone or isolated, where they can thrive, and are active members of their communities. Our mission is to ensure that every older person receives the best possible care, companionship, and advice they need to live well and independently in their own homes for longer.

I absolutely love visiting my 'VIP' each week. To see the smile on his face is priceless!
