Please donate to support our vital services
Age UK Sevenoaks and Tonbridge needs your help to support older people during the Coronavirus pandemic. With the Government’s recommendations for social distancing for people over 70, our services have never been more in demand.
We’re working hard to ensure our vital services can continue to safely help the older people who are reaching out to us during these deeply worrying times. We’re determined to be there for older people who need our help and especially those who have no one else to turn to, but we desperately need your support. If you can, please help us by making a donation
Age UK Sevenoaks and Tonbridge would like to thank everyone who has given up their time or donated during the current pandemic. We are also grateful to all those trust funds and organisations who have supported us over the last few months. All of this has enabled us to continue to support the older people of Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and district during these difficult times.
