For many older people living in care, their later years can be confusing and lonely. Sadly, life in care can all too often be characterized by loneliness and isolation, but Alive is able to bring back that connection to the world, their memories and other people.

Your donations help spark something amazing in some of the hardest people to reach

Help us improve the lives of older people in care

We enrich the lives of older people in care by opening up the world to them again by creating special moments that light up later life:     

To create joy and meaning in the lives of older people living in care, we need your support!  Your support means we can create more amazing moments like these for others like Ron, Edith, Hilde and Mary.

I can feel my memories for the first time in ages
Edith
Mary, who lives with advanced dementia, remembered her name for the first time in over a year 
Prior to our gardening project, Hilde  slept a lot during the day, felt “helpless and hopeless” but now she feels “life is still beautiful”!
It’s the best time I have had in ages, you’ve made me realise I’m still here and I’ve got something to live for
Ron
