Story

In this time of national emergency older people are more isolated and vulnerable than ever before. We are supporting older people throughout this time, offering a friendly voice at the end of the phone, posting out wellbeing packs and practical support such as shopping and prescription collection for as long as we are able. At a time when we are losing money from our charity shop and fundraising we are increasing our postage, and telephone costs, any support you could give us would make a massive difference to us 'Thank you so much for your help, it feels like I am not on my own anymore' said one grateful lady when we helped her
