How can we get involved?
There are a number of ways your organisation can partner with us.
Choose Age Cymru Powys as your Charity of the Year
Please consider choosing Age Cymru Powys as your business Charity of the Year. In return we would offer joint branding on our fundraising materials and our events, as well as positive PR and local media coverage.
Sponsor one of our events
Your staff could get involved in our events thoughout the year. By sponsoring an event you help us with the costs, for example, food and decorations, and in return get some great PR and local media coverage.
Display a collection tin
Could you display a collection tin in your office or shop? This would help us to collect much needed donations to ontinue our vital work in Powys.
Donate a raffle prize or service
Could you donate a prize for one of our many fundraising raffles and competitions - perhaps a bottle of wine, box of chocolates or biscuits, bath goodies, gift vouchers, or free services?
Donate equipment
If you would like to donate a piece of equipment, we would be very grateful. We usually need computer equipment for our staff.
Send employees to volunteer
Could you send a team to help out at an event or activity? It's a great way for staff to bond by working together to help vulnerable older people. Previous staff teams have served Christmas lunches, taken older people on days out, painted our office, and revamped our garden.
Run a fundraising event
Your employees could run their own fundraiser to help raise vital funds for our work. They could do a cake sale, dress down day, a sponsored walk or run, or a raffle. There's so many things they could do - contact us for more ideas!

Gail Colbridge, Chief Officer
“Each day we are overwhelmed with requests from older people and their families needing help and assistance. We struggle to keep up with the requests for help for form-filling for benefits.
Older people desperately need the money, help and assistance; they have no one to turn to. Our small team work incredibly hard to be here for older people across Powys. We now need your help to be here for the future. We are funded by client donations, supporters, and small grants. Help us to ensure that all local older people of Powys have someone to turn to when they need help.”
