Why run for Age Scotland?

Across Scotland, over 100,000 people over 65 experience chronic loneliness. That's an average of one older person on every street across Scotland.

By helping us raise funds, you are allowing us to make more Friendship Calls and support older people through our Helpline with benefit entitlements, housing and free Will writing services.

Prefer to donate instead?

If you’d prefer to donate to Age Scotland instead, you can set up a monthly donation or make a one-off payment here.
