"Gardening is so rewarding, it really lifts the sprits!" 🧑🌾 Recently, we caught up with Twyford Growers, a group supported by Age UK Berkshire which gathers each week to create connections while growing fruits and vegetables. From sharing their harvest with the community to building raised beds for those with limited mobility, Twyford Growers highlighted the incredible physical and mental benefits that gardening offers older people. Dunelm has since very kindly gifted the group with plant protection to stop pigeons from getting to the harvest before the gardeners can! Having corporate partners like Dunelm means so much to Age UK, local partners, and the older people we all support. Thank you for your continued support 💜

The Government have announced they are cutting the Winter Fuel Payment this winter. With virtually no notice and no compensatory measures to protect poor and vulnerable pensioners, we think this is the wrong policy decision. Help us protect older people who will struggle this winter 👉 https://bit.ly/3WKe7xd

“I’ve worked with so many people and have made some wonderful friends that I’ll have for the rest of my life!” 💜 This week, we spoke to Rachel, Assistant Manager at the Age UK shop in Tamworth, who has been working there for 22 years. Rachel’s volunteering work began shortly after having children, as she sought confidence to re-enter the workplace. "Somebody suggested volunteering as a means of gaining a bit of confidence to go back into the workplace – but I loved volunteering here so much that I stayed!" Aware of the difference her work has made, Rachel continues as the longest serving staff member at the store, as she announces she has no plans to leave any time soon. “I’ve been here so long that I want to have my ashes scattered here!” Read the full interview and learn more about the difference Age UK charity shops make here: https://bit.ly/3W5Zenl
