No one should feel alone this Christmas

This festive season, over a million older adults will spend Christmas Day without company, according to research from Royal Voluntary Service.

Through our Check In and Chat service, you can bring comfort and connection to those who need it most. Chief Nursing Officer for England, Duncan Burton, says:

"While Christmas is a time for celebrations with family and friends for many, we know for some people it can be a lonely and difficult time, especially for those who live alone. If you can spare some time this Christmas, please do sign up. It is the best gift you can give."

Make this holiday season brighter for someone. To make a Check In and Chat call, make sure you have Telephone Support selected on the GoodSAM website and then accept a call in the GoodSAM app.
