It’s nearly Christmas!
Coming up you've got plentiful parties with pals, pulling crackers at the office, and many mince pies with your family. We're talking endless supplies of mulled wine and terrible dancing to terrible Christmas number ones.
You'll be lucky to have a night in, and sometimes – after the extended festivities – that's exactly what you need.
“Without thinking about it, I have become a lonely old man. And I don’t like it.” Richard, 83
But what if a night in was your only option?
What if there were no parties you felt you could to go to?
Many of your older neighbours in Southwark and Lambeth will be alone this Christmas time.
They aren’t hoping for a night-in. They long for a night out, some company, conversation and companionship.
They want to be part of the festivities.
Well luckily, you can be the one to grant them their wish.
By donating to South London Cares, you can share the Christmas joy with an older neighbour. For as little as £4 you can help make your neighbours feel vibrant, visible and valued, just as you do at Christmas:
So whilst you’re munching on a mince pie with your friends, you can also know that an older neighbour – who might otherwise be alone this Christmas – is doing the same.
Indeed, donating any amount could make an entire difference to their experience of the festive season this year.

Thank you from everyone at South London Cares!
