UBS: Combating isolation and poverty amongst older people

UBS exists to alleviate the problems faced by the most disadvantaged and isolated older people, especially those living alone in inner-city areas. We provide to those in need lifelong friendship and financial support. UBS supports those in need without distinction of class, creed, nationality or sect.

We provide older people throughout the UK with lifelong friendship and financial support:

• Practical support through services provided by our community volunteers
• Friendship and regular social contact through befriending schemes
• Small grants in emergencies
• Christmas food hampers and a winter cash gift
• A small, regular extra income paid quarterly
• Bedding packs and thermal slippers to guard against hypothermia
• Regular letters, cards and newsletters

Our support is committed for the rest of our beneficiaries' lives unless there is a significant change in their circumstances
