🌟 Small Charities Week - Legacy Giving 🌟

🌟It is our vision to be the go-to place for people to feel connected, informed and included as they grow older, now and in the years ahead. Our vital services are free to access, but we rely on the generosity of our community to continue to help those who need us.

🌟With a gift to Age Well East in your Will, whether it is a small percentage or modest sum of money, you will be helping thousands of people in your community who face poverty, isolation, and bereavement. A gift leaves a lasting legacy within our community and makes sure that those in later years are not forgotten.

🌟 All gifts, big or small make a difference to people’s lives. People like Margaret;
“Margaret cared for her husband, Robert since he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Providing daily care and support for her husband was difficult for Margaret, both mentally and physically and the couple became increasingly socially isolated, unaware of the help that was available to them.”

🌟 Through our Befriending Service, Margaret met with Evie, a volunteer who offered the simple gift of someone to talk with. Margaret and Evie first started crocheting together, something Margaret had always wanted to learn but had never taken the time for herself to do. Evie also helped the couple to secure a place for Robert in a Day Centre one day a week, giving Margaret much needed respite with the reassurance that her husband was being well cared for while she took some time away.

🌟 When Robert sadly passed away in 2020, Evie was there for Margaret and helped her adapt to her new life without her husband. Margaret and Evie remain friends today, meeting every week to crochet and remember Robert together.

🌟If you would like to support Age Well East with a gift in your Will, or need guidance about making a Will, we can help you. Please contact us on 0300 37 33 333 to find out more.

🌟 Knit, Natter and other Digital Groups 🌟

🌟 As you will know, we have a range of online friendship groups available for those with all interests and skills - from Book Club to Arts and Crats to Knitting and Crochet.

🌟 Leonie, our befriending coordinator in Thurrock has recently taken over the Knitter Knatter group on Tuesday mornings, and she's absolutely loving it!

Leonie says "I’ve actually been crocheting for 43 years, yes, I started young! A lovely neighbour taught me when I was just 7 years old, long before crochet became the trendy hobby it is today.

"Over the years, I’ve made all sorts of creations, so , I jumped at the chance to lead the group! I’m currently teaching one of our clients how to crochet online, and it’s been fantastic to share the joy. We also have others in the group who have been crocheting for years, so plenty of experience to go around!

" Recently, I resurrected an old project that had been in a cupboard for the past two years, a hexagon cardigan for my mother-in-law. I’d already made one for myself (naturally, obviously bright pink and black), and she requested one too. Life got busy, and it was abandoned… until now! I’m delighted to say it’s finally finished, just in time for her birthday on Sunday. I can’t wait to see her reaction, although I’ll admit, a part of me wants to keep it!"

🌟 If you'd like to get creative online then reach out to [email protected] and we'll get you connected in no time.
