No one should have to face Christmas alone
As the festive season approaches, there is a lonely older person on every street in Scotland. In fact, almost 140,000 over 65s say that Christmas Day is the hardest day of the year.
Age Scotland is there for them when no one else is. We provide friendship, advice and support to those facing the challenges of older age alone.
Last Christmas I got a friendship call on Christmas Day and it was brilliant. It was so lovely to have someone to talk to, someone who asked questions and was open to listening to me.
