Sunday 8 November 2026

The Age Matters team is taking on a 25km fundraising walk to help support vulnerable older people across the Illawarra.

Every day, we work with older people across the Illawarra who are experiencing financial hardship, housing insecurity and social isolation – compounded by health issues, and the impacts of the cost of living crisis. While our program services are funded, direct financial assistance needed to overcome real barriers relies heavily on fundraising and community support. 

The ‘Every Step Matters’ walk will help us provide practical assistance when people need it most, including things like basic supplies, essential household items, transport & removalist costs, and other urgent needs that can make a real difference during difficult times. 

On Sunday 8 November, our team will lace up their walking shoes and tackle 25 kilometres together, with every step helping to make a difference in the lives of older people in our community.

You can support the walk by making a donation through our fundraising page. Every contribution, big or small, helps us continue providing support where it is needed most.

Together, we can ensure older people in our community receive the support they need to live safely, independently, and with dignity.

Every Step Matters. Every Dollar Helps.
