It has been reported that an astonishing 40,000 people will be spending Christmas Day by themselves this year in London. In fact approximately around 450,000 people over the age of 65 are expected to be spending December 25 alone in their homes… and that’s where Careline comes in!
Lonely at Christmas – Solutions
There are various campaigns being set-up across London to try and prevent elderly people from being alone on Christmas Day.
The Haberdashery Café in North London is opening its doors and serving Christmas dinner along with providing entertainment to around 30 people – who would otherwise be spending the day by themselves. Elsewhere, Age UK Hounslow will also be serving-up a festive three-course meal for around 50 guests – as well as a sing-a-long and exciting games.
There are things that you can do as neighbours and as relatives with older family members.
If your neighbour is living alone, why not pop round and ask what their plans are for the special day? You can always spread the festive cheer and invite them round to your house for Christmas dinner to get them into the Christmas spirit and have a great Christmas surrounded by people that care about their well-being.
That one kind gesture can put a smile on the faces of those who are faced with the prospect of being alone this Christmas.
