About this cause
Our charity, fondly referred to as Goldies, works at a community level to brighten the lives of thousands of vulnerable older people through fun social activities, wellbeing sessions, large-scale concerts, Age Awareness days, intergenerational projects with primary schools, and festive celebrations. Our activities alleviate isolation and are proven to combat depression.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Our new online sessions are having a positive effect on hundreds of our beneficiaries who are currently shielding due to Covid-19. They enjoy sharing music, making song requests, posting messages to friends, and getting involved from home. One member said: "I put my knitting down and had a nice singalong with you. Thank you for bringing some fun into my lounge."
