£5 will pay for us to support one person out of food and fuel poverty
The rising cost of food and energy bills has made it more important than ever for isolated adults to access support available to them. Your £5 donation will pay for one of our staff to chat with a struggling resident and refer them to one or more partner organisations that can help with food, energy saving and/or benefits advice.
£15 could pay for one of our team to spend a full hour on the phone supporting an isolated resident
Many of our service users have a wide range of support needs and therefore need a more in-depth chat. This longer conversation will give them the time to understand the person’s unique circumstances, what changes they’d like to make, and any barriers they face. They can then help them find the right services for them, whether this be a local social group or the specialist support of one of our partner organisations.
£25 could pay for one of our team to accompany an isolated person to a new social group
Many isolated adults we support put off trying new social activities due to a range of emotional and practical barriers. For example, feeling anxious about meeting new people, or struggling with planning their journey to an unfamiliar location. As part of our service one of our staff can accompany them from their home to a new group, helping them to settle in and gain the confidence to return by themselves.
Thank you!
