FUNDRAISING EVENTS
Age Concern Buckinghamshire is an autonomous local charity, responsible for our own funding and services. We work in Bucks with and for older people who are marginalized by their poverty; older people who feel isolated by their location; older people who are housebound, mentally frail, alone, and who turn to us for help and advice.
We have to raise sufficient funds each year to run these services, and one of the ways in which this is done is via different events organised by a small fundraising committee. The latest events locally and nationally are shown below read on and see how you can enjoy yourself as well as helping raise funds for this charity.

How much does it cost?
