This is ALONE’s summer 2023 edition of The Supporter, a regularly published newsletter designed to keep volunteers and the wider community informed about the organisation’s activities and developments. One of the highlights of this edition is a heartfelt report from an older person who has directly benefited from one of ALONE’s services, the National Support and Referral Line. This service has been a lifeline for many, providing essential support and information to older people. In addition, a dedicated volunteer at ALONE shares their unique perspective, providing valuable insights into their journey of becoming a volunteer and the profound impact it has had on their life.
The newsletter also includes important fundraising updates, featuring recent initiatives and partnerships that have contributed to ALONE’s funding. This includes successful campaigns with major supporters such as Bank of America, Energia and Beechfield Healthcare. These updates indicate the generous contributions of these organisations and illustrate the creative and diverse ways in which funds are raised to support ALONE’s vital services. The edition also includes a work in focus section whereby key achievements to the end of July 2023 are noted and celebrated. Furthermore, the edition provides information on how to get in contact with the organisation. This includes various channels through which individuals can reach out for support, volunteer opportunities, or to make donations.
