BrightLife
A local charity for older people
YOUR SUPPORT REALLY MATTERS
OUR CALLS REALLY DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
"The calls mean a lot, its nice to have a pleasant chat and often helps to solve a problem. I can go a day or two without seeing or speaking to anyone. I look forward to the calls"
HELP US TO HELP MORE
One of our objectives this year is to increase the calls we make. We currently look after 95 users in the Chesterfield, Bolsover and North East Derbyshire area and we want to increase that to 150.
Each call costs us £6 to make when all costs are taken into account. And we make 95 per week.
In order for us to be able to hit our goals and support more people we need to raise £17,160 over the next year to make this happen
OUR BIG GOAL THIS YEAR
There's a real need to help get older people socialising again where they can.
We would love to create 10 events over the coming year where people could come and see friends and make new ones. We would provide food and drink and entertainment and it would be in a town centre location.
Each one of these events would cost £500.
Events such as these bring so much joy to people that have spent a large part of their month on their own. Bringing others together and becoming a place of community.
DONT FORGET THAT IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED BUSINESS THEN YOU CAN OFFSET ANY DONATIONS AGAINST YOUR CORPORATION TAX
Any money you can give goes to...​
​
More volunteers
Each call we make costs about £6. The more volunteers we have the more people we reach and the call cost comes down
​
More Chromebooks
Each volunteer needs to be equipped with the right tools for the job! A Chromebook has a cost of £150 or feel free to donate your old ones
​
Events
Be it live or virtual, events sponsors are always welcome to allow us to reach more people and make them feel included
