As we celebrate 40 years of supporting older people through Age Concern Hampshire, we take pride in reflecting on our journey and looking ahead to an exciting future.
Since our founding, we have been committed to improving the lives of older people across Hampshire, and our Ruby Anniversary is a wonderful opportunity to honour that commitment.
In 2025, we will introduce a new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, a significant step forward in how we connect with families, deliver our services, and ensure the highest standards of care. This innovation will allow us to strengthen the support we provide, ensuring we continue to meet the needs of older people for years to come.
To mark this milestone, we’re also launching our 40 for 40 campaign - an ambitious initiative to host 40 events across our services with the goal of raising £40,000.
These events will not only help fund our vital work but will also bring together service users, volunteers, supporters, and the wider community in celebration of the impact we have made over the past four decades.
Brogan Rehill, head of fundraising and volunteering, said: "As we mark 40 years of supporting older people in Hampshire, we take great pride in the positive impact we have made through our services. Our Ruby Anniversary is more than just a reflection on our history—it is an opportunity to engage with our community, celebrate our achievements, and look ahead to the future as we continue to enhance and expand our support for older people in the years to come.”
We invite local businesses, community groups, and individuals to be part of this special year by hosting their own fundraising events in support of Age Concern Hampshire.
Whether it’s a coffee morning, a sponsored walk, or a themed Ruby event, every contribution will help us continue our mission.
To support your fundraising efforts, we can provide promotional event packs, including posters, fundraising tips, and materials to help make your event a success.

Let’s make 2025 a year to remember!
