For 1.2 million older people, loneliness is a daily reality.

​

It has been linked to depression and leaves people feeling alone, unhappy and unwanted.

​

Age UK helps millions of people in the UK every year, providing support, companionship and advice.

​

And in 2020-21 alone, Age UK answered 195,624 calls to their Advice Line.

 

An Age UK spokesperson told Beryl & Silver: "We are a strong voice, campaigning with and for older people to champion their rights, needs and wishes. Too many older people are living in poverty or just above the poverty line. Too many find themselves without the care and support they desperately need. Too many have no one to turn to. Our focus, more than ever, is on the older people who need us the most." 

​

At a local level, the Age UK network is a partnership of independent charities which includes national partners, over 120 local Age UKs, and hundreds of smaller organisations called Age UK Friends and Forums.

 

Age UK also works at an international level in over 30 developing countries through its international subsidiary charity, Age International. Age International is a member of the HelpAge global network and the Disasters Emergency Committee.

​

Beryl & Silver is proud to support Age UK and to help fund their vital work.

​

I donate 10% of all profits to Age UK in memory of Nanny B. 

​

Thank you in advance for supporting them too.
