A charity has launched a fundraising campaign to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

Age Concern Hampshire (ACH) has been supporting older people across the county since 1985 and will mark its 40th year of service in 2025.

To celebrate this milestone, the charity has launched the £40k for 40 Years campaign, which aims to raise £40,000 through 40 community-led events.

The charity provides essential services, engaging activities, and dementia support for older people.

It is now calling on communities and businesses to get involved in the fundraising campaign to ensure its work can continue.

The charity has created fundraising packs to help participants plan and deliver successful events.

These packs include guidance on selecting the right event, using effective promotional materials, and maximising donations.

An A-Z Fundraising Guide is also available to inspire creative fundraising ideas.

Contributions from fundraising events can be made through the charity’s dedicated JustGiving page, where UK taxpayers can also boost their donations by 25 per cent at no extra cost through Gift Aid.

Brogan Rehill, head of fundraising and volunteer services at Age Concern Hampshire, said: "As we celebrate 40 years of supporting older people across Hampshire, we’re inviting individuals, community groups, and businesses to get involved in this special campaign.

"Every contribution, big or small, helps us continue making a difference for years to come."
