A Hampshire charity has launched a £40,000 fundraiser as it marks its 40th anniversary.

Age Concern Hampshire, a charity providing support to older people across the county, has launched the '£40k for 40 years' campaign as it "proudly marks a significant milestone in 2025".

This will see 40 community-led events held throughout the year in a bid to raise £40,000.

The money will help the charity continue to provide its "essential services, engaging activities and dedicated dementia support".

The charity has released fundraising packs to help participants organise the events and an A-Z Fundraising Guide with creative ideas.

Proceeds from fundraising events can be donated via the charity’s JustGiving page, with UK taxpayers able to increase their donations by 25 per cent through Gift Aid.

Brogan Rehill, head of fundraising and volunteer services at Age Concern Hampshire, said: "As we celebrate 40 years of supporting older people across Hampshire, we’re inviting individuals, community groups, and businesses to get involved in this special campaign.

"Every contribution, big or small, helps us continue making a difference for years to come."

The charity is also asking for the community to share photos from their events to showcase the impact of their fundraising.
