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 ideas 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.
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.
Our phone line of hymns, reflections and prayers remains a lifeline for older people who are offline and can't come to church this winter. Calls are charged at the same rate as a standard UK landline number.
If your older neighbour doesn't already have the number (0345 646 2206) on redial, you could set this up for them, with their permission.
Alternatively, you could print out a flyer to share with them.
Digital exclusion can really add to feelings of isolation and loneliness, and it can be very stressful when so many things require online capabilities.
Helping your older neighbour to use their computer, smartphone, or to access internet training at the local library can be such a blessing.
Churches looking to communicate with older people who are offline will find helpful tips in our Offline blog.
For those who are unable to support their older neighbours personally this winter, befriending services provide a lifeline to people who have lost connections with others.
Linking Lives can help churches set up befriending schemes and training that reach beyond the church and into the community.
If your older neighbour lives with sight loss, you'll find some helpful resources in braille and large print in their online shop. Easter resources can be found here.
Torch also offer information and help for those supporting someone with sight loss.
