Age UK Lambeth Launches Festive Fundraising Campaign to Combat Loneliness in Older Adults
London, 7 November 2024 – Age UK Lambeth is pleased to announce the launch of their annual festive fundraising campaign, ‘MYHoHoHo’. This campaign aims to bring joy and support to older individuals in the community during the Christmas season. With a focus on addressing the issue of loneliness, which affects 1.2 million older people across the UK, Age UK Lambeth is determined to make a positive impact on the lives of older adults in Lambeth.
“We are excited to launch our ‘MYHoHoHo’ campaign, which is all about spreading joy and making a difference in the lives of older adults in Lambeth,” said Paul Coles, CEO at Age UK Lambeth. “This time of year can be challenging for many, and with your support, we can provide companionship, warmth, and vital resources to those in need.”
The campaign aims to raise funds to provide Christmas meals to isolated and lonely older individuals by matching them with local volunteers. In addition, the funds will also help keep Age UK Lambeth’s services operational over the festive period, a time that can be particularly lonely and isolating for older individuals.
To support the campaign, Age UK Lambeth is asking for volunteers to sign up and provide an extra serving of their Christmas Day meal to a local isolated and lonely neighbour, bringing companionship and good cheer. They are also encouraging the community to participate by sharing their Christmas cheer and helping generate funds that will directly support Age UK Lambeth’s essential services and programs. Through JustGiving, individuals can donate and join in the festive spirit of giving, ensuring that no older person in Lambeth feels forgotten during the holiday season.
All funds raised through the campaign will go towards Age UK Lambeth’s vital support services, including home visits, social activities, and essential care for vulnerable older adults in the area. For more information on how to volunteer, please visit the Age UK Lambeth website or make a direct donation through their JustGiving page.
Let’s come together and make this Christmas a time of joy, connection, and support for older individuals in our community.
