Engage with Age is excited to be taking part in the Big Give 2026 Christmas Campaign in December (link here), where donations will be DOUBLED via match funding!
We must first secure £2,500 in corporate or individual pledges by Friday 28th August, as part of the match funding.
Situation:
While so many celebrate together this Christmas, thousands of older people face the stark contrast of an empty house, feeling invisible and even more isolated and lonely, enhancing anxiety and depression for many.
We need your help to raise funds to ensure our crucial befriending support can continue and we can keep bringing joy and lasting connections to older people across Belfast, helping address this hidden mental health crisis.
How you can help:
You can sponsor us by pledging an amount (minimum £100) via the below link by 28th August which just takes a minute:
• We would be proud to celebrate any business support in our campaign communications
• Pledges will not have to be paid until after the December campaign closes, to match the public donations we receive.
• If you would like to raise funds for your pledge by doing a fundraiser, please see this link to our Fundraising Guide.
• For further information on the Big Give Campaign see https://biggive.org/christmas-challenge/.
For any queries please email fundraising@engagewithage.org.uk.
Together we can empower older people in Belfast to lead happy, healthy, independent and more connected lives.
