Our Fundraising Heroes
Our heroes at Equilaw
Equliaw have been busy fundriasing for older people in Gloucestershire, holding raffles, bake sales, and even treasure hunts - all to help older adults enjoy a better later life.
Stagecoach West
On 7th August 2025, a dedicated team of eight Stagecoach West colleagues laced up their trainers to walk and run part of the 94-bus route from Gloucester to Cheltenham and back – a whopping 8.2 miles each direction – in aid of Age UK Gloucestershire.
Swapping bus fares and timetables for running shoes and energy gels, the team raised a grand total of £1,340!
Richmond Villages
Richmond Villages in Painswick, Cheltenham and Wood Norton undertook a chartity bike ride entitled Tour- de-Richmond. The ride coverd 85 miles and spannned the three Richmond Villages locations, symbolising the unity and shared commitment of the communities to support older people across the county. The event took place on 21 August 2025, raised a staggering £600!
Dancing for Fitness and for a Cause
Hi I'm Tracy and I've been part of the team here at Age UK Gloucestershire for 11 years. I look after marketing for our charity so it's my job to make sure that older people across the county know about our services and how to find us. And I love it!
