How your company can help Age Cymru

Help Age Cymru to be there for older people during these uncertain times. The support and services we provide is now more vital than ever, so we need your company to help us be there for the millions of older people, many of them alone, during this national crisis.

The need is growing

In these challenging times, there are more older people turning to Age Cymru for support, and we are working around the clock to be there for the people who need us. Unfortunately, these same challenges are also threatening our local services, due to the immense pressure on staff, volunteers and suppliers across the country.

To help meet this need, Age Cymru urgently needs financial support from companies like yours. These funds will help us to:

• Meet the growing demand on our free information and advice line – calls are up by 200% and this is expected to rise – so that we can provide expert advice and support to all older people, their carers and families.
• Continue to provide our Check-in and chat service which enables us to give comfort and reassurance to older people facing long periods of isolation.
• Provide additional funds to our local Age Cymru partners to ensure they continue to provide local support on the frontline, such as food parcel deliveries, shopping services, over-the-phone support and prescription collections.

To keep these vital services running, while meeting unprecedented additional demand, Age Cymru has launched a £500,000 appeal, and we need your help.
