Donate equipment
If you would like to donate a piece of equipment, we would be extremely grateful.
(Equipment can vary but generally, we ask for equipment to help facilitate some of our activities. We sometime need bigger items such as computers, TVs, office furniture, dining tables or chairs).
If you would prefer to chat about what we need please call us on 01303 269602 or email co@ageukhla.org.uk
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 day centre 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!
