We keep our mailings to the minimum...

Our latest letter to supporters (below) is rather different to our previous ones. We decided it is a difficult time to ask for donations directly - so we didn't! Instead, we used the opportunity to bring everyone up to date, express our heartfelt thanks and announce the launch of this new website. Making sure everybody who we keep in contact with are aware they can find lots of useful and interesting info about the work we carry out with their support.

AFTAID supporters are so wonderful that we noticed an immediate increase in website visitors and despite no direct appeal, a number of donations through our online payment facility and in the post! Thank you everybody, you really are marvelous.

AFTAID are not a charity that will constantly ask for money, it's not a very nice job. But we are compelled to send appeals by the overwhelming need that we have brought to our attention.

So as and when necessary, we do send out a direct appeal to our supporters, this tends to be once a year and once again with The Bright Side mailing.

AFTAID welcome all contributions to The Bright Side and this website.
So if you can send a story that our supporters will like to read (that's just about any story relating to help for older citizens) please send it to us.

Just email your story by clicking here.

Also, if you can organise a fundraising event, no matter the size, we will be happy to offer support where we can.

Just email your plans for the event by clicking here.
