YTD Raised: £155.00
(UK, 1167933) In over 200 years since it was formed in 1769, The Anchor Society has concerned itself with the care of older people in the Bristol area. Our key areas of work are: Grants and financial assistance. We give single and regular payments to elderly people in genuine and immediate need of financial support. We also support projects which reduce isolation such as LinkAge which Anchor was instrumental in founding. Housing. In partnership with others we provide of low cost housing, sheltered accommodation and affordable shared ownership housing for elderly people. Technology. We support of assisted living technology, to enable older people remain independent within their own homes for longer, in partnership with UWE. We have just agreed to fund an older persons lectureship as part of the leading edge Bristol University SPHERE project. SPHERE has developed a number of different sensors that will combine to build a picture of how we live in our homes. This information can then be used to spot issues that might indicate a medical or well-being problem. Employment for older people. This year we started a project in collaboration with Business in the Community to enable older people overcome barriers to employment. The project enables older people to access support including placements to enable them to get back into work. Active Aging. Sport and Physical activities for older people. This is another new project to improve the health and wellbeing of older people through sport and physical activity, in partnership with St Monica’s and Bristol Sport Foundation.

YTD Raised: £155.00YOPEY (pronounced yop-pea) runs campaigns to combat the bad press inflicted on young people by revealing, recognising and rewarding young unsung heroes and setting them up as positive role models for other young people to copy. We are creating tomorrow’s great citizens today. In our first 10 years (2005-2014) we held campaigns in 12 English counties – Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Suffolk and North, South and West Yorkshire plus the whole of Scotland, In 2014 we held our first YOPEY in Greater London. Our ultimate aim is to hold campaigns across the whole of the UK. At the end of each campaign we hold an awards ceremonies at which the very best young citizens are giving cash awards to invest in their community projects. They received YOPEYs – ‘Oscars’ for young people who give to others. In our first 10 years we awarded young people about £150,000. We are also trialing befriending schemes where we are linking schools with care homes. The young volunteers are given training to relate to elderly people with dementia. YOPEY has mainly been supported by companies as part of their corporate social responsibility, but this VirginMoneyGiving page has been set up to enable the contestants in Miss Norwich and Miss Ipswich, and Mr Norwich and Mr Ipswich, to fundraise for YOPEY as part of their bids to represent their county town in the annual Miss England contest.. But anyone is welcome to fundraise for YOPEY using VirginMoneyGiving as a way to authenticate what you are doing and ensure your sponsors’ money reaches this charity, without any commission being taken by VirginMoneyGiving.
