A hand of friendship for seniors

"I am happy to help seniors in some way, even chatting to lonely people on the phone."

I AM concerned about the aged in our highway area.

I think that there must be many lonely elders in lockdown who might just need someone to talk so that they know they are not alone in this.

I would like to help in some way.

I am a pensioner and my income has been from the SASFA keep fit/ dancercise classes I hold for 50s and over.

I am missing my classes and the lovely ladies who attend who are full of fun and friendship.

I am a pensioner so financial aid won’t be how I can help .If a relevant NGO or organisation who works with seniors can pls contact me I am happy to help in some way, even chatting to lonely people on the phone.
