"I used to stare at my four walls. Taskforce helped me get my confidence back. I never thought that would happen to me. I was a salesman; I had the gift of the gab! But when you lose connection with people, it does something to you. Now, I do the quiz every Tuesday and Thursday after exercise, and even at the Sunday Lunches! I am myself again..." - Member R.L

DONATE
As a charity, we rely on the generosity of our community to continue supporting older people across South Manchester. Funding opportunities for services for older people are becoming increasingly limited, so every donation(no matter how small) helps us keep our vital work going.
Whether it's £1, £5 or whatever you can afford, every pound goes directly towards keeping Inspired Taskforce running and supporting older people to stay connected, active and independent.
As a community, we can make a real difference.
