Gift of Hope - Christmas Appeal 2025

Could you give the gift of hope this Christmas?

Donate today!

For many older people Christmas is not the most magical time of the year.

While the world celebrates Christmas with festive joy, thousands of older people face another Christmas alone.

This December, please don’t let loneliness be their story.

Our team is passionate about supporting older people not just at Christmas but all year round. 

"Although some of our calls can be difficult and emotional, particularly around Christmas, I still love what I do. Often we hear from people who are feeling absolutely hopeless but in the space of one call, we can turn it around. By offering some ongoing support and a listening ear, we can give them some hope back - you can hear the difference in their voice. We're genuinely changing lives and it feels amazing!" - Information & Advice Helpline Advisor

Your donation reminds someone they are not forgotten. Give the gift of hope to someone who needs it most.
