Make A Donation

Would you consider funding our work in the community with a donation or sponsorship or maybe you would like to leave us a gift in your will?

This will help us to meet the costs of keeping The National Careline going. It also ensures that the service is there for others to use in their time of need.

It will benefit older people and their families who are struggling to find their way through the care maze trying to find the right care for their loved ones.

Older people are very vulnerable and families need advice and help to ensure that the correct documents are in place to protect them from financial abuse. Help us to help them.

All donations are ring-fenced and used to support The National Careline website which is free to use, and to keep the telephone helpline freely available to all.

Upon assessment some people must pay for their care and others receive care under the NHS Continuing Care provisions. This is a very difficult time in people’s lives and we are here to help throughout.
