[New] Help us to make a difference in later life

Age UK Hertfordshire provides vital support for older people across the County.

By 2040 there will be over one quarter of a million people over the age of 65 living in Hertfordshire, that’s 36% more than we have today. It is estimated that over 90,000 will be living alone, over 128,000 will have limited daily activity and nearly 23,000 will have a diagnosis of dementia. Age UK Hertfordshire’s services are already in high demand, and these forecasts suggest that will only get higher!

Ways you can support us

There are a variety of ways you can support us, including:

Charity of the Year - consider choosing Age UK Hertfordshire as your business Charity of the Year. Whether this is for one-year, multiple years or as part of a wider CSR strategy choosing a Charity of the Year has been proven to improve employee satisfaction and retention.

Payroll Giving - there are lots of benefits to offering a Payroll Giving scheme for your employees and every employer in the UK can start a scheme regardless of your size. Donating to charities tax-free directly through your salary, Payroll Giving, is the most tax-efficient way to give. Donations are taken from pay after National Insurance but before tax.

Gifts in Kind - these provide us with the use of products or services that may otherwise cost us money. This can include the use of a facility or donating a product or service for us the use at a raffle, or as a prize.

Cause Relating Marketing - this allows a donation to be made to Age UK Hertfordshire from the sale of a specific item or service.

Challenge Central - we have teamed up with Challenge Central who organise private bespoke group events for those who enjoy taking on a physical challenge.

Collection 4 Clothes (C4C) - clothes and bric-a-brac are donated by your employees, taken away to be recycled by C4C and Age UK Hertfordshire receives a donation from these items depending on the weight of the bags.

Volunteering your Time - As little as an hour a week will make a huge difference to an older person in Hertfordshire. We have a variety of volunteering roles to suit everyone.
