Helping the elderly living alone stay connected to society to someone they are familiar with in their friendship/family group via telephone during Covid-19
Connect with one elderly person that is already in your friendship/family group via telephone. Even if they are talking to others a fresh voice, fresh news will always be welcome. Takes 5/10 mins a day, we can all spare that so go on get #Sayinghello now ♥️
How lovely was the team member @sainsburys Dewsbury came running up to me with these gorgeous flowers for Mum and wanted me to tell her that she misses seeing her every Friday #Kindness#Isolation
Story no 2
A lovely lady stepped in and volunteered to pay my £200 bill (It wasn’t all mine) when I realised I had left my purse at home. I have repaid but what trust and kindness she offered, seemingly without a moment’s thought!
I didn’t know her, she didn’t know me, we do now!
One supermarket trip today two contrasting stories!
Story no 1
One objectionable fella gets actually evicted from the store for verbally abusing staff as some items he wanted weren’t in stock😳 Story 2 to follow .....

Well, I've talked to an elderly friend of a friend today and it turns out he actually needs shopping! Slightly ashamed at how grateful he was for something that is so easy for me to do. #COVIDー19
