Support for the elderly
Sadly, for many older people, the reality is a little different with a large number of over 55s saying that loneliness and social isolation is one of their most prominent worries across the festive period.
That’s why our charity, The Abbeyfield Society, started Companionship at Christmas – our annual drive to both highlight and alleviate this issue by encouraging our houses and homes in the North East to offer free festive activities, hot meals and friendship.
