A Heartfelt Call to Action: Supporting Lonely Elders this Christmas with EdenCare Support Services in Bolton

As the manager at EdenCare Support Services in Bolton, I am deeply moved by the recent statistics from Age UK, revealing the challenges faced by over 2 million older individuals who wish for companionship during the Christmas season. This festive period can be particularly lonely and isolating for supporting lonely elders, with 1.6 million finding Christmas Day to be the hardest day of the year.

The Hardest Day of the Year Campaign

In response to this poignant reality, Age UK has launched the ‘Hardest Day of the Year’ campaign, seeking public support to make a difference in the lives of those who have no one else. Supported by esteemed ambassadors Dame Helen Mirren, Dame Judi Dench, and Dame Joanna Lumley. This campaign sheds light on the distressing impact of loneliness on older individuals.
