Alive

Working across Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas, Alive is a charity working to combat loneliness in older people. Through its work, Alive seeks to prioritise health and wellbeing in later life, particularly for those with dementia and they do this through meaningful activity sessions, training and support of carers, by connecting people to their local communities and by providing a voice for the rights of older people.  In their latest report to us, we were pleased to hear they have enriched the lives of 4230 people in the last year alone, bringing laughter, joy and a sense of purpose and we are pleased that our endowment has in some part facilitated this brilliant work.
