How You Can Help

Age UK Norfolk welcomes your support in our charitable work to help us to provide the services we offer.

Donations

Any donation you may wish to make will be used for the benefit of older people in Norfolk.

 

How your donation can help: £10 pays for two telephone advice calls £50 pays for five visits or eight one hour chat sessions to isolated and housebound older people. £100 pays for five one hour advocate sessions to support older people. £300 pays for a monthly Pabulum Cafe for 20 older people with dementia and their carers.

 

There are a number of ways you can make a donation:

• Single donation: no matter how small, your donation will make a difference.
• Regular Giving: you can choose how much and how often you want to give.
• Paying tribute to the life of a much loved relative or friend: by making a donation to Age UK Norfolk instead of, or as well as, flowers at a funeral.
• Leaving a legacy: leaving a legacy in your Will is a simple and straightforward process. Stating our charity number 1077097 will ensure that your money is given to Age UK Norfolk to help older people locally.

 You can make a donation online by clicking on one of the buttons below:

 

 

 

 

 

Alternatively you can call us on 01603 787111.

In addition, 'The Big Give' is a free-to-use website that helps donors find charity projects to support, including Age UK Norfolk projects:

Sponsor our skydive!
16 brave members of staff, service users and friends of Age UK Norfolk’s Grays Fair Court Community Support Centre in New Costessey, Norwich are taking part in a Sponsored Tandem Skydive on 1 August 2010 at Beccles Airfield, Suffolk. If you would like to support the event and help raise funds for Age UK Norfolk you can visit our online sponsorship page.

Gift Aid 

By making a donation to the organisation and adding Gift Aid, you would be making a huge contribution to the work of the charity. We are able to reclaim 28p in every £1 that you donate.

The only qualification is that you must be a UK taxpayer, so that you will have already paid an amount of tax equivalent to the amount that we can claim.

Donate your leftover foreign currency

If you've been abroad and have foreign currency left over, don't let it gather dust - donate it to Age UK Norfolk and we'll put it to good use. We collect:

• notes and coins of any currency
• old European currency, including old British money, which is no longer valid.

We'd be grateful to receive any of your unwanted foreign currency at our Age UK Norfolk centres in Old Catton, New Costessey, Acle, Diss and Methwold.


Donate your unwanted car and raise funds for Age UK Norfolk

The Giveacar website enables you to donate an unwanted car and give the profits to a charity of your choice.

Giveacar picks up your car at no cost to you and will either sell it if it is roadworthy or scrap it if not. All the money raised from either scrappage or sale of your car will be donated to Age UK Norfolk if you request it. Further information is available from the Giveacar website:
http://www.giveacar.co.uk

 
Fundraising

Why not organise your own event or take part in one of ours.

Arrange a sponsored challenge event, pub quiz, auction, or a dress down day at work. Alternatively, our events programme has something for everybody, whether you enjoy walking, running, cycling, parachuting, knitting miniature bobble hats, fancy dress with a silver theme, or simply organising a Sunday lunch for friends and relatives!

Find something that suits you, have fun, meet new people and raise much needed funds for Age UK Norfolk!
