Slip into Slippers
TUESDAY 1 OCTOBER 2024
UK Older People’s Day is on 1st October every year to coincide with UN International Day of Older Persons. The day supports the campaign to challenge negative attitudes and outdated stereotypes.
Age UK Solihull will be commemorating this day by encouraging people to wear slippers to school or work for the day and donating as little as £1.00 each.
In 2023, over £770 was raised, which will help us to continue providing our services for local residents who need us.
You can take part in Slip Into Slippers with your school or work colleagues or as an individual! Whether you're at school, work or home, give your feet a treat and wear your slippers for the day (as long as it's safe to do so)!
Any money raised can be sent to us at Age UK Solihull, The Core, Central Library Building, Homer Road, Solihull, B91 3RG. Alternatively, you can donate directly to our Slip Into Slippers fundraising page below either on or before the day.
