The Care & Repair Programme was established to carry out “odd jobs” for  older people and to provide a befriending service. The programme is currently based in Dublin, Galway and Cork, and on a franchise basis in other locations around the country. Care & Repair is funded by Irish Life Plc.

Age & Opportunity is the Irish national agency working to:

Challenge negative attitudes to ageing and older people.

Promote the participation of older people in all areas of society, and to encourage understanding between the generations.

Our major areas of work are: the arts, health, physical activity, education and the media.

ALONE is a national organisation that helps older people in need to age at home

They work with older people who have difficulties with loneliness, ill health, poverty, poor housing or homelessness.  They support them through these challenges and link them in with the relevant services they need to live in the community. ALONE is independent and receives no government funding for the day to day running of our services.  They have 200 active volunteers that are trained and supported by professional staff.  All our services are quality approved ensuring we are high value and low cost.  100% of all donations goes directly to providing services to older people in need.
