Join forces with Age UK Peterborough to make a measurable difference
Corporate supporters are essential for Age UK Peterborough to deliver their work, and they are very grateful for any support.
Who they are
Age UK Peterborough is a local charity working with and for older people in the Peterborough area.
Why support them?
Here are just a few reasons:
Something we can all relate to
Older age impacts us all – by supporting relatives as they age or by growing older, Age UK Peterborough's cause will always be relevant and far-reaching.
A local focus
You can directly help some of their most vulnerable local residents.
A flexible partnership
There are many ways you could work together; long-term or short-term
A well-known charity brand
Age UK Peterborough is a brand partner of the national Age UK charity, a highly recognisable and trusted brand.
Services needing support
Among their many services, two have a particularly high demand:-
Welfare benefit advice
Many local older residents are faced with a choice of eating or heating and often cannot do either satisfactorily. Last year, Age UK Peterborough helped local people claim over £800,000 of benefits, helping them afford the essentials. You can help them to reach many more.
Befriending
They can match more isolated and housebound local residents with a Befriending volunteer, providing much needed company. This service requires more volunteers and funding to cover their expenses.
Other services they provide:-
• Practical support in and around the home, including a gardening service
• Local events, clubs and activities
• Products and Services for over 50s
