I never thought a stranger ringing me every morning would become the thing that gets me out of bed. Whoever pays for that, thank you.

Fundraise for us

Fundraise for AgeTrust

Run your own event or join a team. Every fundraiser, large or small, pays for visits, calls and shed places for older people in your community.

  • Host something

    A coffee morning, a quiz night, a bake sale at work. Small, local, brilliant.

  • Take on a challenge

    A run, a walk, a swim, a sponsored silence. We'll give you a page and cheer you on.

  • Celebrate with us

    Ask for donations instead of birthday or wedding gifts, or give in memory of someone.

  • Business support

    Charity of the year, matched giving, or sponsoring the shed. Let's talk.

Other ways to give

Bank transfer, cheque, legacy

Bank transfer or cheque

Get in touch and we will send our bank details, or post a cheque to Radfield House, Stafford ST17 4AP. Include your name so we can say thank you and claim Gift Aid.

A gift in your will

A legacy, however small, lets us plan years ahead. Our registered charity number is 1124019. Your solicitor can add us to your will; we are happy to discuss it with you first.
