BIG thanks to @stjohnsleeds for their generous donations that will be given to lonely and vulnerable older people this Christmas. The gifts will really brighten the festive period for some of the older people we support. Thank you

If you, or the company you work for, would like to donate gifts, or perhaps you're fed up with Secret Santa & want to make a difference instead then drop us a line on lisa.burnett@ageukleeds.org.uk & we can make sure your kind gifts reach the older people most in need

HUGE thanks to Dunelm & their generous customers for this massive haul of Christmas gifts. We 'll deliver these to some of the lonely & vulnerable older people we support across Leeds. It's likely to be the only gift they'll receive this Christmas. Thank you!

Last night, we gave over £580,000 to community organisations who are working hard to make West Yorkshire a safer place to live. The money has been seized from criminals and given to local groups as part of the @mayorofwy's Safer Communities Fund.

Volunteering is a great way to help others and research shows that it benefits people of all ages, by increasing feelings of self-esteem, social connection, and well-being. Volunteer with Age UK Leeds as a Digital Champion digitalteam@ageukleeds.org.uk x.com/imbethmccoll/s…
