"Not only does it provide elderly people with human connection, but it also helps alleviate boredom the pupils may be feeling.”

Even a small act of kindness, such as sending a letter, can make a big difference to someone else’s life.

🗣️Our Head of Comms, Daniel Pattison: “It’s not just checking in, it’s about connecting. It can make a huge difference to take the time to talk to somebody... reminiscing about old memories or making plans for when you're able to see each other again.”
