How your sponsorship money helps
Each £25
Could help us to match a befriender with a socially isolated older person, providing them with weekly telephone calls, friendship and support.
Each £50
Could help us to host an online dance class for the most isolated in the community.
Each £100
Could help to fund a robotic pet to provide reassurance, happiness and comfort every day for an older person living with dementia.
Since Mum passed away two years ago, Dad was clearly very lonely but stoically carried on with good humour, driving to gardening club and coffee mornings to socialise. However, after he broke his hip in a fall last year and could no longer drive, his stoicism faltered.
The transportation service that you provide has quite literally been a lifeline. Dad really loves your infectious enthusiasm when collecting him, and it is during the long drive home where he sees places he hasn’t seen for a while that he maintains his connections, both physically and mentally, with the areas that have been part of his neighbourhood for over 60 years.
Dad looks forward eagerly to his days with you, and as his sons and carers we benefit too as the time we have with him is of a much higher quality; knowing he is nourished, cared-for, and stimulated when we are unavailable ourselves. Without you and all you provide his life would not be as rich and his happiness significantly reduced.
