People We Help

Media Centre

By providing food, warmth, shelter, medicine and welfare support at home we are saving the lives of the hundreds of elderly residents in our communities. Our community centres also provide the social interaction that helps to relieve the isolation they face on a day to day basis. Our programmes are helping those we support retain their dignity and sense of purpose. We are striving to reach out to an increasing number of communities to alleviate the suffering of this vulnerable group.
