AGE CONCERN BIRMINGHAM 2.6 Challenge

As a charity supporting older people and others in need, it is now more than ever that our services are needed and our resilience is being tested.

We are proud to have adapted our services to offer a telephone support service, delivering emergency food supplies to those in need, offering a fresh meal service to the door and making calls to hundreds of isolated and lonely people to give reassurance and hope.

We will continue to adapt and offer our services to meet needs throughout the coronavirus pandemic and beyond but we need your help!

Our team of committed staff and volunteers who are going the extra mile each day are also undertaking the #twopointsixchallenge to raise additional funds for this work by taking part in a range of activities involving the numbers 2.6 or 26. You can get involved and be part of Team ACB too!

1️⃣ Pick an activity based on the numbers 2.6 or 26
2️⃣ Send us pictures and videos of you taking part
3️⃣ Donate to us via this page
4️⃣ Nominate 3 friends to get involved

Even if you aren't able to take part in the challenge, please make a donation to help us make a difference to as many people as possible during this difficult time. 

Here are just a sample of the comments we have received from those we are proud to have been able to help so far:

‘You have no idea what a difference this will make to me. I can have some healthy meals now’

'Thank you to your staff who are so kind, not only the way they deal with phone calls but they go out of their way to care for carers like us'

'I cannot thank you enough for the parcel for my brother. Your kindness will not be forgotten. Stay safe and well'

'I very much appreciate everything you guys are doing for our citizens! I will be clapping for all of you guys tonight!'

'Thank you for dropping food bag to me it is a great help thank you very very much'
