As the evenings draw in, please be mindful of those who may be lonely. Loneliness doesn’t just affect people who are housebound; it can affect anyone, at any age. Young people (aged 16 to 34) were more likely to report feeling lonely than adults overall in a recent government survey.
Addressing loneliness through home visits has been a cornerstone of the SVP. Your local team has been doing that since we started in April 2016. We now ask you to keep an eye out for anyone who may have fallen through the gaps. Please check in with those in your neighbourhood. If you do come across someone who would appreciate a home visit, please let us know. If you would like to be part of the visiting teams, let us know that too!
Finally, as always, please keep an eye out for anyone in need in our community and just contact us if you think the SVP can be of help. We’ll always do our best.
God bless.
