Comment: | Contact the Elderly groups organise gatherings for frail, elderly people who live alone. One Sunday afternoon a month, volunteer drivers take elderly people on regular visits to hosts? homes. Groups of between ten and sixteen people visit a different home every month and spend a few hours in the company of friends, old and new.
This national charity was created by Trevor Lyttleton in 1965 and he remains the Founder Chairman.
Currently, there are in excess of three hundred groups nationwide supporting elderly people, but there is still a long way to go to cope with the escalating number of lonely, elderly people, who are simply too frail to go out.
To contact a local group, consult the internet or phone the freephone number for details of your regional contact. |
