EmbracingAge

Could you help more older people enjoy regular meaningful connections next year?

Whether donating or doing a fundraiser for our Winter Appeal, bidding in our Silent Auction or buying our Festive Quiz pack, you'll help more older people feel connected in the New Year by enabling us to recruit and train more volunteers. Thank you!

What we do and why

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.
