Join us this June and help raise awareness of the loneliness and isolation which affects older people across the areas of Somerset and North Somerset. June 21st is the day when we enjoy the most hours of daylight in the year but for many older people across the area this day really is 'the longest day' if they are housebound or affected by loneliness and isolation.

Many older people in Somerset and North Somerset are affected by loneliness and isolation. Social intereaction is part of our daily lives and lacl of interaction can quickly lead to loneliness and depression and have a serious effect on the quality of life; a visit from a 'special friend' can often be the highlight of the week and help to raise spirits.

We hope to be able to support more older people this Summer so that we can stop them from feeling lonely and isolated. A regular gift of just £4 a month can help to ensure that less older people across Somerset and North Somerset are lonely this year.
