The Happy at Home Partnership is a Big Lottery Funded project helping to reduce the feelings of isolation in elderly residents across Daventry and South Northants Districts and Northampton and enable them to remain living independently in their own homes.
Volunteers are recruited to visit elderly residents in their own homes and take them information about access to services in their own area. The project also recruits volunteers for its social events which bring isolated elderly residents together, of which Afternoon Tea with Friends, is one.
My involvement in the Happy at Home partnership is part of my Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, as I believe the care of our elderly is very important and and we need to encourage our young people to take more of an active role and to support these types of schemes.
Please support this worthwhile cause.
Thank you,
