Please support Age UK Surrey's aloneTOGETHER appeal
Our aloneTOGETHER appeal:
The impact of the Coronavirus pandemic has been devastating for older people who are feeling more isolated, anxious and alone than ever before. Older people who have served their country, raised and supported others and who now need our support.
As we come out of lockdown, we are determined to continue to support older people in Surrey but we desperately need your help to do so.
As an independent charity, responsible for raising our own funds, your continued support and donations during these difficult times are critical in helping us support the most vulnerable now and in the future.
Here is how your donation could help:
-
By donating £25 today
you could help our expert Advisors answer more calls to our Information and Advice line or help us provide a benefit check which may result in extra income for an older person who is struggling financially.
-
By donating £20 today
you could help us to provide weekly Check in and Chat calls to people who are desperately lonely.
-
By donating £15 today
you could help us provide our free Digital Help Telephone Support service to enable older people to connect with friends and family and access a wide range of virtual services to alleviate social isolation.
-
By donating £10 today
you could help us to continue our Emergency Shopping Service for people who are unable to go out themselves.
Jane's Story:
As I'm immuno suppressed I have actually been isolating since March 12th and have been instructed to "shield" until June 30th...... I was unable to secure on line groceries but that is now happening for me! A relief I must say!
Caroline put me in touch with a wonderful lady called Sarah who very kindly picks up shopping if I need it .... she has been invaluable .... We have had video calls with each other and are going to get together when this awful pandemic has run its course!
Thank you again to Caroline and Sarah ....... I would have been in a fix if it wasn't for you both"
Thank you for your donation
