PLAN B GIVING BACK: Alone Tell Us What We Can Do For The Older People In Our Community This Christmas

Alone

There’s a lot of excitement at this time of year. The message out there is that it’s the most magical time of the year.

While for some it is, for others it is not.

Huge THANK YOU to Marian Keyes for launching our Christmas campaign today! 1 in 10 people over 75 are lonely a lot of the time. This Christmas, we're asking everyone to think about how they can make their minutes count and improve the lives of older people they know. Please reach out to your older neighbours this winter. At ALONE, it only takes a few minutes to introduce an older person to their volunteer, but it can lead to years of friendship. We need your support to keep providing our vital services. Make your minutes count and donate today on www.alone.ie #makeyourminutescount #loneliness #christmas

Christmas can be a sad and lonely time. An organisation that makes it it’s mission to connect with people is ALONE.

ALONE CEO, Sean Moynihan told Sarina on Saturday’s Plan B that one way we can give back this Christmas, and beyond, is by volunteering.

Volunteering opportunities include, visiting people, assisting them with filling in forms, daily tasks but most importantly it’s about making human connections.
