Staff from law firm Furley Page have set up a telephone buddy system to offer companionship and support to elderly members of the community who need to self-isolate due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Many elderly people in local communities are understandably anxious about the potential impact of the coronavirus and the impact that a long period of isolation will have on their mental wellbeing.
The telephone buddy system helps to alleviate social isolation and ensure that no-one is struggling at home alone, without essential food and medication. It will provide welcome regular contact for elderly citizens who are isolated and enable volunteers to check that they are OK and arrange any help or support they may require during this difficult time, for example shopping or other tasks such as collecting medication.
Please call Furley Page Solicitors in Canterbury on 01227 763939 to take advantage of this free service.
