No One Should Have No One

No one should have no one

No matter what your age, being loved and cared for is important to all of us.

But during Christmas the companionship and support of friends and family seems to mean even more than usual – which is why loneliness feels even harsher.

At Age UK London, we believe no one should have no one. Not at Christmas. Not ever. Yet for 40,000 older people in London loneliness is a daily reality. And we don’t just mean at Christmas.

Feeling invisible

Across England, 1.9million older people often feel ignored or invisible and the festive season can often serve to enhance that loneliness and isolation at a time synonymous with family and togetherness.

We need to make a difference. We need to make sure support is available for all older people who find their lives adversely affected by loneliness or isolation, whatever the time of year.

Here in London we’re working as hard as we can all year round to help older people face the different challenges that growing older brings, and with your help we can work to make sure no one in later life need be alone or isolated.

How you can help

We want to make sure that we can continue to be here for those who need us the most, but we can’t do any of this without your help. If you want to change the lives of older people in London this Christmas, please click here to see how you can make a difference!
