During the current COVID-19 crisis our services are needed more than ever. There are many older people living alone who are not only lonely, but are anxious about the pandemic, and anxious about how they will get food and other essentials if they can't get out and don't have anyone to turn to.

We are currently phoning more than 200 people a day to listen to their concerns, give them advice and get the shopping they so badly need through a number of volunteers who have kindly offered their help. We are also working with other voluntary organisations and local authorities to make sure everyone we speak to is well, and are having their urgent needs met by family, friends or carers and where they are not, we will be helping them as much as we can. As time goes on, more people will be seeking our help. Please help us continue with this work.
