November 2024 marks 10 years since we began!

​Join our Big 10 Challenge and help more older 
care home residents like Rose to enjoy regular
​companionship and connection over the next decade
Rose was one of the first care home residents we supported when Embracing Age began in 2014. You can listen to her story and hear from some other residents we've supported in our anniversary video below.

You can join our Big 10 Challenge by choosing your own fundraiser or donating directly.

You can help bring priceless moments of joy and companionship to more residents like Rose when you fundraise for Embracing Age.
There are so many ways you can raise funds, individually or as part of a group - check out our Fundraising Guide for ideas and useful information on getting started.
 “Seeing the joy and wonder on
Rose’s face on her first trip as she experienced being out in nature again was priceless.” 
Sponsored Challenges - If you're doing a sponsored event or have supporters who'd like to donate online to your challenge, you can create a JustGiving fundraising page under our Big 10 Challenge via this button.
Paying in offline fundraising - If you're only taking donations directly (e.g. a bake sale or similar in-person one-off event), you can pay in the total you raise by bank transfer, cheque, or online donation.

Where your money goes

We're committed to making sure your donation makes a difference in the lives of older people and is used wisely, ​with integrity and transparency.
It costs us between £15,000 - £20,000 a year to employ each member of frontline staff. It's our biggest cost, but without our vital staff team we would not be able to:
Recruit, train and support volunteers to befriend care home residents

Facilitate a weekly zoom gathering to support and connect informal caregivers

Develop resources to help those living with dementia and their loved ones to enjoy special moments together
​
Mobilise churches to adopt their local care home to combat the loneliness and isolation of care home residents
