Here are a couple of opportunities to have some fun (educational too!) and Help the Aged.
The first is the Great Sunday Lunch which you can find out about here. It is all about family, friends and neighbours getting together to enjoy lunch and raising money for Age Concern and Help the Aged. The idea is to invite some guests to a Great Sunday Lunch and ask them to show their appreciation by making a donation.
The second is the Big Knit and links with innocent smoothies and Sainsburys. The details are all here. The basic idea is that people are encouraged to knit 'hats' for Smoothie drinks. For every behatted smoothie sold, innocent and Sainsbury’s will give 35p to Age Concern and Help the Aged.
They say, "It’s time to get knitting to help older people stay healthy this winter. It’s a sad fact that in the UK, 1 in 10 people over the age of 65 are malnourished. So when it’s nippy outside, it’s even more important for older people to look after themselves and make sure their bodies are in tip top shape.
The monies raised will then be used to fund projects and advice centres offering information on healthy eating as well as cooking clubs and get-togethers where older people can sit down and enjoy a meal in each other’s company. Hot Christmas dinners all round."
