Eva's Uplifting and Adventurous Accounts of Atlanta
Fundraising for Age UK Northumberland
Story
Eight year old Eva says her ambition has always been to publish a book. Having developed a cough recently, Eva put her period of isolation to good use, writing the first part of her series, the Adventures of Atlanta.
Her pride in her achievement and entrepreneurial spirit led her to consider selling her work, and, just like kind-hearted Atlanta, Eva decided to take the opportunity to raise money a charity that supports members of our community who are particularly vulnerable at this time.

Most of us have felt very lonely and alone at some point in our lives. Its a profoundly personal and painful experience and people can feel completely hopeless.
Luckily for many, life moves on and these feelings pass. But for some of us loneliness can become chronic, making us miserable and often causing us to lose self-confidence. It can become increasingly difficult to build new and meaningful relationship that could restore our sense of self and self-worth.
The fact that loneliness carries a stigma can make it hard to admit to it and seek help. And often people dont know where to go for support.
Loneliness is associated with depression, sleep problems, impaired cognitive health, heightened vascular resistance, hypertension, psychological stress and mental health problems. Especially in older people.
Alone we can make a difference. Together we can make a change.
