Please consider making a financial donation to support this work by clicking the "Please donate" button above. We are an independent local charity responsible for raising our own funds so any donation will be gratefully received during this difficult time.

Would you like to help older people during the Coronavirus outbreak?

We are compiling a register of people able to help. In the longer term if older people are self isolating we will also be looking for volunteers to act as telephone befrienders – calling an older person to check on their welfare, perhaps do some shopping but importantly providing someone to talk to during what is likely to be a very lonely time.

If you are looking to help with shopping or telephone befriending please complete this form »

We will get back to you, please bear with us during this very busy time.
