Why us?

Cows 'n' Things is an ethical gift shop run by Help the Aged. We are an international charity fighting to free disadvantaged older people from poverty, isolation and neglect.

There are approximately 100 million older people in developing countries who survive on less than 50 pence a day. When disasters strike, older people are often the last priority and aid organisations do not always know how best to meet their needs. Older people are among the world's most vulnerable citizens yet they make an invaluable contribution to keeping families together when communities are depleted by conflict, HIV/AIDS, famine or drought.

Help the Aged is committed to providing help and support for older people wherever it is needed. Cows 'n' Things sells ethical gifts that raise money to fund long term development projects. See some of the older people we've helped

Every time you buy an alternative gift from Cows 'n' Things, not only do you put a smile on the face of a friend or family member, but you also make a real contribution to improving the lives of disadvantaged older people around the world.
