When Age NI First Connect Coordinators visited Bill, they were shocked to see the condition he was living in.
He was the victim of an aggressive robbery during which he was beaten in his flat for over an hour. He was very alone and very frightened.
After a number of visits we were able to establish Bill’s interests and were able to link him to a group in his area.
We accompanied him for his first visit. During discussions he also mentioned he would like to move. We gave him options, contacted the Housing Executive and will take him along to see sheltered housing options.
Sadly Bill had been forgotten by society but gradually he is getting his life back. It’s not right that he had to endure a violent robbery to get the support he needed... Bill’s story is not unique. He could be your dad, uncle, brother, grandfather, neighbour or friend... Bill could be you.
He is the reason that Age NI exists - to deliver care services, provide advice, campaign, fundraise and influence our decision-makers to improve later life for us all.
* Bill’s name has been changed to protect his anonymity. All calls to Age NI are confidential.
