Raising funds

We are hugely grateful to our wonderful supporters who took part in our charity fundraising events such as Spring into Action, the Age Squatland challenge, The Big Wheesht, and our Time to Talk Tea Party, alongside external events such as the Edinburgh Marathon Festival.

We continued to receive support from trusts and foundations and the Scottish Government.

Our Time to Talk Tea Party was sponsored by Specsavers, allowing us to reach a wider audience and raise more vital funds.

I’m running for Age Scotland because it represents everything we need. To care for the people who gave us the today and to everyone for the future. Keeping people together, happy and safe and helped.

We launched our biggest ever Christmas appeal reaching 1.1 million households across Scotland and running across multiple media channels. Alongside raising funds, this also helped promote awareness of loneliness and the challenges older people on low incomes face at Christmas and throughout the year.

I am an advocate of the work you all do at Age Scotland. I am passionate about ensuring we have excellent care and support services for our older people and will always try to make sure our older people have the support they need to live their best life
