ALONE and Cully and Sully to
Share the Warmth this Winter
Cully Allen of Cully & Sully said “It’s an achievement for us that Cully & Sully is turning 20 years old this year. The support of our customers has made this milestone possible…we are CHUFFED to be growing older and we want to help ALONE, who are supporting so many older people in Ireland, to age at home safely and securely.
We will be donating €20,000 to ALONE and are asking our customers to Share their Warmth and donate to ALONE at alone.ie/donate or scan the QR code displayed on the lid of our limited edition Chicken and Vegetable soup.
Seán Moynihan, CEO of ALONE stated “We are delighted to launch this partnership and appreciate the support from Cully & Sully and their customers. We have had to continue to grow our services in response to an ever-growing demand for support from older people across the country. We are urging everyone to be mindful of older people in our society this winter, not only due to the economic repercussions of the worst cost of living crisis in almost 40 years but that many older people, particularly those who are living alone are impacted by loneliness. Winter is a very busy time for us. Our volunteers, and staff will be checking in, supporting and sharing their time with older people across Ireland.”
Regular Giving
By donating €21 or more per month, ALONE is able to claim a tax refund on the donation.
By making a regular monthly donation, you can support older people who are lonely, isolated, homeless, living in poverty, or are facing other difficulties. With the Irish population dramatically ageing, we anticipate that the demand for our services will significantly increase in the years ahead.
Your planned monthly donation ensures that we can continue to help the increasing number of older people who come to us for support, now and long into the future.
Meet Margaret
Margaret is 79. “For fifteen years I didn’t laugh or have a real conversation with anyone. I had a seven day week with no one to talk to.” Margaret was never married and had little contact with family. Her only friend was a lady that she bumped into at the bus stop occasionally. Margaret’s life wasn’t always like this. Before she retired she worked in a busy office. She had many friends, and enjoyed an active social life.
Margaret is now matched with a trained Befriending volunteer. “I now look forward to every Monday when my volunteer Amy visits me. I always feel ten feet taller after she visits. It’s so lovely to see a friendly face.
