Mission Statement
Our mission is to give older people a space in society. To empower and support them to form social networks, get back into the community whilst promoting independence and activeness. Our work is all about choices; giving older people a platform to enjoy and embrace their life.
About This Cause
Wishing Hearts aims to combat loneliness and social isolation in older adults by granting wishes for them to give them a special, one of a kind experience that they can cherish forever. Some of our previous wishes have been a trip to the beach, a keyboard, a soft blanket or a tattoo of a rose to mark the memory of a late husband so they are extremely personal and gives the individual the chance to craft an experience around their own wants and needs. As well as this, we organise community events such as coffee mornings, afternoon teas and cinema trips to connect older people and encourage them to form their own social network in the local area. For the older people who are experiencing various health and access needs we carry out companionship visits to spend time with the people who unfortunately, can't attend our social events. So, our work is centred around giving older adults a place within society for them to feel valued and supported.
