Tottenham Pensioners Group

Hi my name is Paul and having successfully managed the pharmacy distribution service with a team of 48 volunteers and 73 pharmacies for the 6,000 shielded & sheltered Haringey residents during the pandemic I decided to spend more time helping the older folk in the borough. I’m fundraising for the Tottenham Pensioners Group which for the past 40 years has survived through donations from the community and the free support of volunteers. In this cost of living crisis we are finding it harder to fund trips to the theatre, museums & seaside, meals & bingo, pie and a pint, quizzes etc for the over 60s residents in the borough especially those who are socially isolated and lonely. We need more support whether it be more volunteers or financial. The leader of the group is in her 90’s and I am trying to ensure we are able to continue when or if she finally retires! Her mental health & wellbeing are my primary concern as are all the lovely people I’ve had the pleasure of volunteering with over the past 5 years. I’ve set an achievable target and I hope you will help me reach this asap in my continued aim to give a voice and a better quality of life to the unheard pensioners in N4, N6, N8, N10, N11, N13, N15, N17, N18 & N22 postcodes.
