Festive Fundraising
Help change Christmas for older people who are feeling lonely.
This Christmas, thousands of older people will be isolated, lonely and feeling forgotten. That’s why we’re calling on everyone to come together and fundraise for Age Cymru Dyfed so we can give comfort, friendship and joy to older people who need it most.
How your fundraising helps
Every penny you raise can help Age Cymru Dyfed provide the human connection that too many older people live without.
Last year, we helped Dyfed love later life in so many ways! From befriending and digital inclusion to mental health support and information and advice, plus £2.3m awarded in previously unclaimed welfare benefits!
Age Cymru Dyfed gets limited statutory funding. We believe it is vital our service is available to all who need it and that it offers free, confidential expert advice and home visits for people with mobility problems. Fundraising helps ensure we deliver work locally.
Together, we can help change the lives older people who are feeling lonely. Together we are stronger.Together, we’re not alone.

This Christmas, you can help someone like Elizabeth
Like so many older people in our communities, Elizabeth had been struggling to pay her energy bills and was feeling isolated since the loss of her husband 15 months earlier and was on a downward spiral. Having also recently lost her beloved Labrador and with no family close by, Elizabeth struggled, hoping for light at the end of the tunnel.
Elizabeth gained information and advice, to help her claim benefits she was previously unaware of. We supported her to make better use of her Smartphone and loaned her a tablet to video call family overseas.
We gave her advice on saving energy and put her in touch with local organisations for support. Elizabeth, with our help attended social groups and activities. When Elizabeth needed us the most, we were there for her.
“Knowing Age Cymru Dyfed cared was life-changing.”
