Make a regular donation
Making a regular donation is the best way you can support vulnerable older people in Lancashire. It is estimated that there are over 35,000 lonely and vulnerable people aged 65 and over in our county and with your generosity we can reach out and provide invaluable and life changing support.
Each year we support thousands of individuals and their families to avoid crisis, remain independent and stay connected to their local communities. Without our support many would simply fall through the cracks, potentially leading to severe consequences.
To continue our work with older people across the county, we are dependent on the generous support of the people of the local area and beyond. Although we receive grants for some of our activities, we have no regular guaranteed income.
Help us to continue making a positive difference for older people and make Lancashire a great place to grow old.

Other Ways to Donate
-
Donations in memory
A loved one can be remembered in the future too. You can celebrate the life of a friend or member of your family by choosing to make a donation in their memory instead of having flowers at the funeral. If this is your wish, just tell the Funeral Director who will arrange for their gift in lieu of flowers to be sent direct to Age UK Lancashire.
If you wish to make a lasting contribution to older people in the memory of your loved one, all you need do is contact Age UK Lancashire (tel: 0300 303 1234 or email admin@ageuklancs.org.uk) and we will explain the quickest procedure for doing this.
In addition to donations of money you can also help us by making donations of almost anything to our charity shops, or by donating your time as a volunteer.

Donate By Cheque
We understand that online donations and direct debits are not for everyone, so we have the option of donation by cheque. This allows you to donate safely and securely without the use of digital devices.
Please make cheques payable to Age UK Lancashire, and send either with or without the Donations Form (which can be downloaded here) to us at:
Age UK Lancashire

Gift Aid
Gifts to charity are eligible for Gift Aid, under which scheme your donation will be worth almost 1/3 more at no extra cost to you if you pay UK Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax which we can reclaim. In order for us to reclaim tax, you must pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax at least equal to the tax that we reclaim on your donation in the tax year.
For more information contact admin@ageuklancs.org.uk or telephone 0300 303 1234.
