Make a difference tolives of older peopleurges Age NI charity

One third of older people in Northern Ireland say that they feel lonely, according to the manager of Carrick's Age NI shop.

Kevin Wilson said: “At this time of year in particular, feelings of loneliness can be even more pronounced but we can all make a difference to the lives of older relatives, neighbours and friends.

“Age NI’s ‘No-one should have no-one at Christmas’ campaign highlights the issue of loneliness in later life and encourages us all to look out for older people we know.
