ACTION for Elders is urging people to ‘call with a card’ to show their elderly neighbours that they aren’t forgotten this Christmas.
The Wales based charity says that longer lifespans mean more older people are living alone and experience loneliness, especially at Christmas.
Action for Elders runs ‘Balanced Lives’ programme throughout the UK which is filled with gentle exercise and learning new life skills to help reduce physical pain and falls, and enables people to make new friends.
More information on Action for Elders and the Balanced Lives programme can be seen at www.actionforelders.co.uk or call 0303 303 0132.
