๐ Supporting Older People This Christmas ๐
Christmas can be a difficult time for older people, especially those who live alone. Changes in routine, loneliness, and the cold weather can all be challenging.
If you have elderly relatives or neighbours, please try to keep in touch this festive season โ a phone call, message, or visit can make a real difference. ๐
No one should feel lonely over Christmas. For older people in our community who may be waiting for the phone to ring, having someone to talk to can brighten their day.
๐ค Age UKโs Telephone Friendship Service offers much-needed comfort and support.
