Age UK, Wandsworth

I'm holding my annual fundraiser in November for Age UK in memory of my mum and am looking for raffle prizes and sponsors. £600 would cover all the food and would mean that Age UK benefit from more funds as it wouldn't need to come from the ticket price. Or maybe there's a caterer who would be willing to donate or provide services at a discounted price?Also if you'd like to donate - pennies or pounds - my fundraising page is here. https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-display/showROSomeoneSpecialPage?pageId=874692#stickyAnchor

What does Age  UK  Wandsworth  do?

Age UK offers support, company and advice to the elderly enabling them to enjoy later life.  They also run a Be-A-Friend scheme which my mother took part in for many years - volunteers are paired up with older people to form a friendship and offer company.

Have a handy-man service for small repairs.  Supply certain mobility aids. Run door to door shopping trips.Run excursions to coast and nearer venues. eg Chessington garden centre. If they can't sort out a problem, they usually know a person or organisation who can.Very community minded lovely people.
