In addition, the newsletter provides valuable information on ALONE’s ongoing campaign for change. This campaign aims to address critical issues affecting older people, advocating on Housing, Home Care, Entitlements and Energy costs. This edition of the Supporter also features reports on current fundraising activities within the community. These reports highlight the various innovative and community-driven initiatives that have been undertaken to raise funds for ALONE’s essential services. From boxing tournaments and bake sales to corporate partnerships and individual donations, the newsletter celebrates the generosity and commitment of the community in supporting ALONE’s mission.
