"Gardening is so rewarding, it really lifts the sprits!" 🧑🌾 Recently, we caught up with Twyford Growers, a group supported by Age UK Berkshire which gathers each week to create connections while growing fruits and vegetables. From sharing their harvest with the community to building raised beds for those with limited mobility, Twyford Growers highlighted the incredible physical and mental benefits that gardening offers older people. Dunelm has since very kindly gifted the group with plant protection to stop pigeons from getting to the harvest before the gardeners can! Having corporate partners like Dunelm means so much to Age UK, local partners, and the older people we all support. Thank you for your continued support 💜

The Government have announced they are cutting the Winter Fuel Payment this winter. With virtually no notice and no compensatory measures to protect poor and vulnerable pensioners, we think this is the wrong policy decision. Help us protect older people who will struggle this winter 👉 https://bit.ly/3WKe7xd
