For those missing out on festive events in their community this year, we've created a series of activities to help older people stay connected over the 12 Days of Christmas and beyond. To join in and get your copy, email [email protected] or call 07733062795.

Delaying TV licence fees for over-75s again would be welcome news. But we're calling on BBC & UK Govt to do the right thing & reverse this altogether. Tens of thousands of older people rely on their TV more than ever now & can't afford another bill https://t.co/Rx4STzy8tK

At an especially lonely time, television is more of a lifeline than ever as many rely on TV as their main source of news, entertainment and company.

We are appealing to the UK Government not to switch off free TV for older people. Read more here 👉 https://t.co/r9QEsLr5tU

💬 The simple act of phoning someone who is lonely and troubled can work wonders; whether it’s imparting information or advice or just being a friendly voice to help them pass the time of day.

Thanks, Jackie Bird for supporting the @agescotland helpline
