Christmas at Age UK Lambeth

Many people don't know this, but Christmas is one of the loneliest times for older people, and 1 in 20 spend it alone. We're trying to turn this around and make sure no older people are alone at Christmas. Can you help us?

MYHoHoHo Christmas Day Dinners

Age UK Lambeth is offering their MYHoHoHo Project again this year on 25th December for Lambeth Borough Residents who will be on their own on Christmas Day. One of our amazing volunteers will cook an extra dinner portion and deliver it straight to their doorstep.

REFERRALS FOR THIS PROJECT IS NOW CLOSED.

    There are 1.2 million older people across the UK who feel lonely. Age UK Lambeth is determined to be there to provide support. This year, we are raising money to provide a Christmas meal to people who will be on their own by matching them with a local volunteer. We are also raising money to help keep our services open over the festive period, as this is often a very lonely and isolating time for older people.

    Help today by donating directly to our campaign or see other ways you can get involved.
