Join us for 7 Days to Raise! - North London Cares

Please note: this post is 104 months old and The Cares Family is no longer operational. This post is shared for information only

This May, we're assembling a team of heroes. We want as many of our North London Cares family as possible to join us for 7 Days to Raise!

During the week of Monday 9th to Sunday 15th May, you’re invited to hold a fundraising event – either at home, work or in your community – to raise money for North London Cares and help tackle isolation and loneliness on your doorstep.

There are 50,000 older neighbours in Camden and Islington. One of those neighbours is Mary. Mary has lived in Kilburn for 38 years. Her family have moved away and she recently said “society makes me feel so isolated, even my family don’t care.”

Sadly, Mary’s story is not uncommon. Two fifths of older people in the UK say that the TV is their main form of company. I’m sure you’d agree it shouldn’t be this way.

You could hold a bake sale, run a sweepstake, or host a pub quiz. Indeed, any fundraising you do that week will help your older neighbours feel on top of the world.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re time rich or time poor; there’s a way you can play your part and make a difference. Our fundraising goody pack has 12 fun fundraising events for you to pick from, and of course you could come up with your own! Why not get together with friends, colleagues or family to share the fundraising joy?

It couldn’t be easier to get involved and raise money to tackle loneliness on your doorstep. Register your interest by filling out the form below. Emily will then be in touch with a fundraising goody pack, full of ideas, tips and support to make your event a success.
