Where we operate

National Outreach

Embracing Age operates across the UK by supporting informal carers, and equipping churches in their ministry amongst older people.

Regional projects

We also have regional areas where our Project Co-ordinators mobilise volunteers to bring joy and companionship to care home residents across those areas - currently Richmond upon Thames, the Isle of Wight, Hampshire and West Sussex. Click on an image to visit that area's page.

More About Where We Operate

Could you join our Winter Appeal so more care home residents can enjoy regular meaningful connections with our trained volunteers next year?

From 14 - 30th November, you can bid to win amazing prizes in our online Silent Auction - including a holiday cottage stay, afternoon tea, shopping vouchers, theatre tickets and more!

Or you can take part all winter by donating directly to our appeal page or doing a fundraiser.

However you can support us, you'll be helping more older people feel connected next year by enabling us to recruit and train more volunteers.
