Make Christmas a Little Brighter for an Older Person in Exeter
Published on 30 November 2021 10:11 AM
Christmas is meant to be a time of joy and light. But imagine having nobody to pull a cracker with. No one to exchange a gift and share a hug with. Not a single soul to wish you a Merry Christmas.
For many older people, talking to Age UK Exeter really is their only bright spot during this difficult time of year. Your vital gift today could help make sure that no one has no one this Christmas.
Every donation counts!

We have so many plans for 2022 but we can’t do it without your support. With your help we could:
- Open up our Sycamores centre and run groups daily, ranging from exercise to art therapy and music
- Offer more support for carers while their loved ones are cared for safely
- Offer transport to people who would struggle to get to our groups.
- Investigate making our services available in the West of the City again
- Run I.T classes and adult learning opportunities
- Develop intergenerational opportunities.
- Help older people and their families plan for the future.
