The Great Winter Bag Drop Age UK shops are reliant on generous donations from the public, which are sold on to be loved again, raising funds for the Charity’s work. That’s why Age UK has launched an urgent stock appeal, The Great Winter Bag Drop, so that the Charity’s shops can continue to raise much-needed funds to support lonely older people in crisis this winter. Donating any unwanted gifts can help Age UK to continue to run its much-needed services for those who have no one else to turn to, such as its Telephone Friendship Service, The Silver Line Helpline and Advice Line. These services can be a lifeline to older people by providing friendship, support and advice to those who are vulnerable and struggling this winter. Simply donate any unwanted presents, including clothing, toys, books, games and household items to the Age UK Heathfield shop. Each bag of donations typically raises around £15 — enough to fund a weekly telephone friendship call for a lonely older person. The manager at the Age UK shop, said: “It can be difficult to know what to do with gifts that will never be used, or that you don’t want. However, loneliness and social isolation are year-round problems for older people, and winter can be particularly tough. That’s why we’re asking local residents to donate them to the Age UK shop. Whether it’s a board game you already have, or a jumper that isn’t your style, every unwanted gift donated will make a difference to the lives of older.” People can also support the Age UK Heathfield shop by signing up as a volunteer. Just a few hours a week can help make a difference.
