    Starting Again At 62: A Solo Rollercoaster Ride!

    October 8, 2021 /

    Why I headed for the Highlands just after Covid restrictions were lifted

    September 2, 2021 /

    I realised my entire system was overloaded. I’ve always had a busy social diary – before Covid I was out more than I was at home. But Covid forced a lifestyle shift. A change of pace, a slowing down. An appreciation of the smaller, gentler moments.

    How I’m spending Christmas this year (Hilary’s story)

    December 22, 2019 /

    For many years I volunteered on Christmas Day then spent some time with my elderly Mother. Once my Mother died I was able to spend Christmas entirely on my own and I loved it: a walk on the beach and a lovely veggie curry for Christmas dinner.

    How I’m spending Christmas this year (Maxine’s story)

    December 19, 2019 /

    December 12, 2018 /

    Three friends forward on the same link to an article on the loneliness crisis. All of this is well intentioned and interesting. But here’s the thing that might be surprising to you: we don’t run a loneliness project. We run a project for people who live alone.
