Age UK East Sussex is reaching out to the community to help support its vital work by donating gently used items to its network of shops and furniture warehouses across the region. As demand for services grows, donations of furniture, clothing, and household items are essential to help the charity continue providing support to older people in need.

With a growing older population in East Sussex, and the cut in Winter Fuel Payments, the charity is seeing a significant rise in the number of calls for help and advice on Attendance Allowance, Benefits Checks and Warm Homes Advice which its teams are working hard to provide.

The charity therefore relies on the proceeds from its shops and furniture warehouses to fund vital services such as their Information & Advice line, their team of Social Prescribers, a befriending service, as well as helping those who are experiencing hardship this winter. Donations, whether big or small, make a real difference in the lives of local seniors, and the charity is calling on individuals and families to consider donating items they no longer need.
