£5k for Age UK to tackle loneliness in elderly in Lockdown 3

LONELINESS in the elderly is being combated as Age UK Wiltshire received £5,000 for its Click and Connect project. Retain Healthcare handed the charity for older people the cheque so it could tackle social isolating by giving older people technology such as tablets to communicate with their loved ones. David Trowbridge, managing director of Retain, said: “Social isolation is known to have a large impact in a person’s overall health and wellbeing, and so by helping to combat this we hope to see a knock-on effect on the rest their lives too. “By working with Age UK Wiltshire on this project, we are able to refer the people we think would be open to improving the technology they have in their homes. Additionally, we hope that once using the technology becomes second nature for the older people we care for, that they can also pass on these skills to their friends and family, so spreading the positive impact of the project.”
