Uplift Devon - Providing companionship for seniors in Dawlish

[FriendsOfTheElderly @FriendsElderly]

Help #endloneliness this festive season by having a chat with an older person you meet - in the park, at the bus stop, in your street! 😊

[Re-engage @reengageuk]

Ask older neighbours, friends, clients, relatives, customers, that man you see every morning sitting alone at the bus stop. Take a moment to ask if they have plans and if not give them the @communityxmas number 0800 063 9285.

If you’re off to do some last minute #Christmas shopping today, why not ask an older neighbour if they’d like to come along or if they need anything picking up? #endloneliness

We all love getting a #Christmas Card. This year, give your a neighbour a knock and deliver it by hand. It's a great way to get to know your neighbour, and could make a huge difference to the millions of people who spend the festive period on their own. #EndLoneliness

We're delighted to announce we've been awarded funding from @DCMS. The funding is administered through @BigLotteryFund and will help us look at the role of resilience and relationships in tackling #loneliness https://t.co/0nPN2pZ9rK

Small moments of connection, like saying 'hello', are proven to make a big difference to people who are #lonely. Christmas is a great excuse to start a chat. It could be someone down your street who you see everyday. You can help #EndLoneliness this #Christmas

Our elderly neighbour passed away recently. His daughter popped round a few moments ago clutching a large plastic sack. In the sack were all the Christmas presents he’d bought for *our* daughter for the next thirteen years. 😢

❤️️ Two-year-old Cadi was so adored by her elderly neighbour, he did this for her Christmases after he died

'It is no surprise older people living alone will be visiting their GP more and are more likely to end up in A&E. We also know that some visit the GP simply to have someone to talk to' - @LAlcockFerguson https://t.co/zQhyuFPISF #EndLoneliness #loneliness

[Campaign to End Loneliness @EndLonelinessUK]

Take the time to speak to your friends and family you won't be with this #Christmas. #EndLoneliness

More than 1 in 5 people said that loneliness was the hardest thing to cope with after the death of their partner. Here is Jim's story: https://t.co/mT0djbBbbv #1millionminutes #EndLoneliness
