💜 Save Money on Your Household Bills AND Support a Local Charity! 💜

❄️ As the colder months approach and we all start thinking about rising household bills, every little saving can make a real difference!

Did you know that Age Concern Bracknell Forest is proudly partnered with Utility Warehouse (UW)?

We have our very own dedicated Utility Warehouse representative, Victoria, who can help you explore ways to save money on your everyday household essentials, including:

⚡ Gas & Electricity – See if you could save on your energy bills.

🌐 Broadband – Explore great-value broadband packages.

📱 Mobile Phones – Find competitive mobile deals to help keep costs down.

💜 And here's the best part…

For every new customer who joins Utility Warehouse through our partnership, Utility Warehouse makes a donation to Age Concern Bracknell Forest!

That means you could save money on your household bills while helping us continue providing vital services, friendship, companionship and support to older people across our local community.

It's a wonderful way to make your money go a little further while making a difference to others. 💜

📞 Interested in finding out if you could save?

Get in touch with us and we'll put you in contact with Victoria, who can talk you through the options and help you see what's available.

🎄 CHRISTMAS DONATIONS NEEDED!

Every year at Age Concern Bracknell Forest, we make a special Christmas gift bag for each of our wonderful Day Centre members — a little something to open and enjoy at Christmas and, most importantly, a reminder that they are valued and thought of. ❤️

We’re asking our lovely local community to help us make that happen again this year. If you have new and unused toiletries, unopened gift sets, chocolates or treats, cosy items such as scarves, gloves or socks, or any other unwanted gifts that would make a lovely Christmas present, we would be incredibly grateful for your donations.
Every item donated will help us put together beautiful gift bags for the older and vulnerable people who attend our Day Centre. 🎅🎁

📧[email protected]
📞 01344 422048

Even one small donation can help us make somebody’s Christmas a little brighter. 💚
