EXTRAORDINARY as it may seem, we're trying to give some money away. Yes, it's true. At the same time as Age Concern Swindon is raising money to keep our valuable services going this year, we are offering small grants to local organisations.

This year is Age Concern Swindon's Golden Anniversary and we've set ourselves a target to raise an extra £50,000 this year to celebrate our 50th birthday so we don't let down the 500 older people we help directly every week throughout the year. Maybe you, your neighbours, or 50 work colleagues could help us we'd like to hear from you. Yes, £50,000 is a lot extra to raise but we're not asking you to do it all by yourself!

Write or call me for an application form. And if you'd prefer to help us raise some of that £50,000 we need ourselves, pick up the phone now! Call me on 692166, write to 14 Milton Road, Swindon SN1 5JE or e-mail me at jo.osorio@ ageconcern.org.uk
