The Big Night In

Age UK Herefordshire and Worcestershire would like to thank the generous people of our area for supporting BBC One's The Big Night In, which aired on Thursday 23^rd April and raised an incredible £27,398,675. A portion of this will go towards Age UK's Emergency Coronavirus Appeal, some of which will be distributed to local Age UKs, including Age UK Herefordshire & Worcestershire to help support older people in our community during this unprecedented health emergency.

For the first time ever and together with BBC One, BBC Children in Need and Comic Relief joined forces to present The Big Night In to support the people who are making a difference and to raise money to help those who really need it.

Urgent need for Age UK Herefordshire & Worcestershire’s vital services has significantly increased which is why we are asking anyone who can to help them keep their vital services running so they can continue to provide practical support in Herefordshire & Worcestershire  by donating to https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/ageukhwcovid19

Magda Praill, COO at Age UK Herefordshire & Worcestershire, said: “We are thrilled to have been part of this huge event and we are so grateful to everybody, especially the people of our area, who came together to show their generous support on the night.

“We are so grateful for the support we have received, all donations we’ve had so far as well as funds from The Big Night In will really help us to keep on providing comfort, hope and practical support to older people in our area.”
