Festive Fundraising

Age Scotland found that over 140,000 older people across Scotland feel that Christmas Day is the hardest day of the year.

Many won’t decorate their homes, won’t exchange gifts, and will eat Christmas dinner alone. 

Fundraising over the festive period is a fantastic opportunity to give back and make a real difference. There are lots of ways your workplace could get involved in supporting Age Scotland to tackle loneliness and isolation this festive season. 

Whatever you choose to do, we’re here to help. Our Festive Fundraising pack is full of ideas to help you make the most of how you support Age Scotland over the festive period.  

Our team of fundraisers are on hand with expert advice on organising an event, spreading the word, sorting collections of gifts, raising money and so much more.

However you decide to get involved this Christmas, you can know you are making a difference to older people across Scotland.
