How to help Guild Care at various events in the run up to Christmas

Fundraising is essential for a charity. Not only does it help fund vital services, it also serves as an opportunity to spread word of the organisation, informing the community about the importance of what they do and how they can help.

Guild Care’s events help raise money for its 30-plus community support services for people aged five to 105 living within Worthing and its surrounding areas. From dementia support, care homes and community transport, to providing carers with a much-needed break, these services aim to reduce isolation and support people to live well and independently for longer.

Juliet Hinton-Smith, Guild Care’s events officer, said: “We have so many great events coming up in the community and we encourage people to come along and join in the fun to help us raise funds for our vital services. We have plenty of events to help you wrap up the year and get the whole family into the Christmas spirit.”
