IMAGINE not seeing another person for days on end, only having the TV for company and never having anyone ask, “are you ok?” or “would you like a cup of tea?”
This is the reality for many older people across Britain.
Please support Royal Voluntary Service’s Great Brew Break by inviting your friends, family or colleagues for a cuppa and a chat this week and make a donation so we can help more lonely older people stay independent.
Royal Voluntary Service volunteers provide a vital lifeline for older people across Great Britain, whether that’s help after a stay in hospital, a visit to a Royal Voluntary Service community centre or just a simple cuppa and chat at home.
Please visit www.royalvoluntaryservice.org.uk/brewbreak for more information about how to hold a Great Brew Break event and downloadable resources. You can also donate while having your cuppa by texting ‘BREW42 £2’ to 70070.
With your help Royal Voluntary Service can reach out to many more isolated older people in your community.
Best wishes and I raise my best mug of tea to you.
