I worry about the impact having to stay at home is having on our vulnerable older people particularly those that already felt very isolated and lonely. The Age Scotland Helpline is providing vital support during this crisis but what about those older people who don’t know it exists and that you can just call for a friendly reassuring chat.  I am doing a 30 mile challenge in my back garden to help raise awareness of our vital service and hopefully some funds to contribute towards the cost of our valued friendship calls.
