Support Us
The number of older people in Wiltshire is growing.
For many of us, later life can be an active and fulfilling experience. However, there are thousands of local older people and their families who contact Age UK Wiltshire each year for help. It may be for a bit of information and advice or for practical support at a time of real crisis. We can only continue to reach out to those who need us with your assistance.
Your support will make a real difference to the lives of older people in Wiltshire.
Donations
You can make a donation:
Donations in celebration
Some people prefer to mark a special birthday or anniversary by asking friends and family to make a donation to charity rather than giving presents.
Donations in memory
A donation to Age UK Wiltshire is a very special way to remember and pay tribute to a friend or relative. You may prefer to make a donation to charity instead of, or as well as, flowers at their funeral or to hold a collection at, or after, the ceremony.
Legacies
You can help to safeguard the future of our work with older people within Wiltshire by leaving us a gift in your will. These legacies can make a significant difference to our work, helping to secure and expand our services and projects across the county. We are an independent local charity so by choosing to leave a gift to us you can make a lasting impact on your community.
Please get in touch with us if you would like to find out more about leaving a gift to charity. Click here
Payroll giving
Payroll Giving is an easy, tax effective way to make a regular donation. It enables you to give to Age UK Wiltshire straight from your gross salary (before tax is deducted) giving immediate tax relief on those savings. It is also possible to donate in this way through a pension.

Collection boxes
Help your colleagues and customers to raise funds for us by placing an Age UK Wiltshire collection box in a prominent position at your place of work. All those pennies can turn into pounds to help older people. Please contact us if you would like a box to be delivered.
Recycle your unwanted foreign currency
Many of us come back from a holiday abroad with leftover foreign currency. Good news! We can recycle your unwanted loose foreign change and convert it into help for older people. We collect notes and coins of any currency, including old European currency which is no longer valid.
Look out for our special foreign currency collection boxes in your local area or pop into our Market Place offices in Devizes.
Shop!
Age UK Wiltshire receives a percentage of the profits from the county's Age UK charity shops. So we are very keen to encourage you to pop along to your nearest and check out the bargains to be found!
Having a sort out at home? The shops are always keen to receive clean, wearable men’s, women’s and children’s clothes and accessories. All donations of books, CDs and bric a brac will also very welcome.
