Our work with the elderly
We work with the elderly across all races. To maximise our reach, we try to work with established homes for the elderly, by determining what their needs are and providing what we can.
The resources they need range from food items, toiletries, linen and occasional treats.
We currently run an “adopt a Grandma/ Grandpa” programme where individuals can sponsor an elderly person currently living in a home. The sponsorship can include toiletries, sweets, treats and a juice.
Our next aim is to organise field trips for the residents where we take them out of the home for the day, this would entail hiring comfortable buses and having a safe venue for them to visit. In the same spirit we are looking to organise visits to their home where guests can administer massages and touch therapy.
We also have a need for food items to feed individuals who aren’t living in an institution.
