Cheltenham's Waitrose shoppers supported Age Concern
Posted In: General

Thank you to everyone who made use of their green token at Cheltenham's Waitrose store duing November. The total raised for Age Concern Gloucestershire was a fantastic £340.


For those who don’t know about the Community Matters scheme, Waitrose selects 3 charities every month. Every shopper is given a token as they come through the tills and encouraged to put it into the token bin for whichever of the 3 charities they choose. At the end of the month each bin is weighed and the charities get a donation proportionate to the number of tokens in their bins.

Still Here - A film about us
Posted In: General This year we were lucky enough to receive a donation that allowed us to make a film about our work. This film is now available to view here on our website!

Working closely with the award-winning film company, Omni Productions, we have produced a 3-minute film which tells one man's story. But it is a story that is recognisable to many of us.

"As the Fundraising Co-ordinator for Age Concern Gloucestershire, I have the privilege of going out to tell the public about the amazing work my colleagues do, and how it can change people's lives. 'Still Here' has given us a new way to tell this story. We hope you enjoy it." Joanne Terry

To see 'Still Here' please click on the tab 'A Film About us'.

If you'd like to find out more about our fundraising, and how you could get involved, please get in touch with us today on 01452 422660. You can also go to the 'Support Us' page on this website.

With your help we can continue to change lives.
