Sometimes what would really bless our older neighbours is practical help with some of the things they find challenging.
From lifts, to odd jobs, collecting prescriptions, or help with digital issues, one less thing to worry about surely gladdens the heart! We share a few resources you may find helpful to know about.
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ... If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it"
1 Corinthians 12: 12 & 26
Things are a bit different in the winter - and for some older people, support in navigating the changes would be such a blessing. From helping to reset clocks at the end of October and again in April, to managing the heating controls and Bank Holiday bin collections, or getting that winter duvet out, a little help makes all the difference. Chat with your older neighbour to see what would be a help to them.
Twinkly lights and favourite decorations gathered over the years bring many of us joy in December - but for many older people it's just too much hard work. So whether it's dragging the tree and the decorations out of the loft for them or hanging a wreath on the front door, see if your older neighbour would value some help to prepare their home this Christmas. Don't forget to go back in January to help them put it all away!
While you're there, dont forget to offer help with card writing or taking them shopping for gifts and Christmas food.
The Priority Services Register (PSR) is a free UK wide service which provides extra advice and support, including when there’s an interruption to their electricity, gas or water supply. Help your older neighbour find out more, sign up to be prioritised and get the help they may need one day! Click here for more information and sign up.
