Hi there,

I just got an e-mail from Age Action earlier, asking for volunteers to check on older people in their own area. There was some info on it here:

It's great to see people willing to help others out in this cold weather.

Well don't overlook your own street. I popped into a few neighbours there to see if they needed anything.
