It is always important to support the loneliness that our elders may experience; but as this may be heightened in the holiday season, Fluff are here to deliver our creative ideas for how to connect and raise the spirits of our older loved ones, at a distance.

.

.

We discuss the health impacts of loneliness and share stories from our own work of using the Arts to support the health of older people; and why the Arts truly does help!

.

.

There is lots of advice available on the internet including from @ageuk@yegmealsonwheels @alzscot@volunteer.edinburgh@jacksons_lanecl ;as referred to in this episode. Do look at telephone support lines available for older ones that are open 365 days, 24/7, which may provide a vital listening ear to isolated elders.
