Loneliness is a crippling issue for many older people in the UK. Brendoncare Clubs offer a lifeline, providing much-needed community spaces across Hampshire and Dorset for seniors to interact and engage in activities. Many of these elderly individuals live alone and have long-term health conditions such as Parkinson's, dementia, or heart disease, making them especially vulnerable. The reopening of these clubs is a huge helping hand in restoring the mental, emotional, and physical health of older adults in the community.
The clubs offer a variety of activities that help to rebuild connection and bring smiles to many faces. From lunches and social clubs to exercise classes and kurling, these meet-ups serve as emotional support networks. Members and volunteers, the majority of whom live alone, find a renewed sense of purpose and belonging here. Your support directly contributes to the operational costs of these clubs, ensuring that they can continue to serve as a much-needed support system for the elderly.
Use our editor to write a message for your loved one.
We’ll print your message on the inside of the greetings card so your gift is ready to be given.
Then we’ll call up our favourite postie to hand deliver your impact to your loved one.
Our model’s a little different - we work with impact partners on the ground to keep things transparent and effective. These partners are local community organisations and small charities who can get your impact action done in the most efficient way. And rest easy knowing these partners are thoroughly vetted each year to make sure your impact is truly making a difference.
Now for the best part: seeing your impact in action! About 6-12 months after you send your impact, we’ll pop you (and your recipient if you’ve given us their email) an update. This could include text, images, and videos showing how your thoughtful impact has helped transform lives. Who knew giving could feel so good?
