Loneliness and social isolation are issues all year, but Winter, and Christmas especially, can be particularly tough.

Nobody should be spending Christmas Day alone. Sadly, there will be 1.5 million old people eating dinner alone this year.

Age UK has released new statistics revealing the true extent of loneliness and social isolation amongst the older generation this Christmas.

At Homeshare North East, we support older people to stay living well at home by carefully matching them with a kind, fully vetted Homesharer. Someone who offers companionship, everyday support, shared meals, and the simple reassurance of having another person in the house.

It’s about connection, safety, and peace of mind, for them and for you.
This Christmas, if you’re finding yourself wondering “Is Mum really okay on her own?”, Homeshare might be a conversation worth having.

Through the power of social media, this is a direct call to you.... If you know of an older person who is living alone, in need of company, conversation and perhaps some practical support with day to day tasks, please pass on the details of our service.

We carefully match older people who are living alone and would benefit from companionship and light practical support, with a fully vetted Homesharer who offers companionship and practical support each week in exchange for affordable accommodation. Support can include everyday things such as sharing meals, shopping, light household tasks and, importantly, the reassurance of having someone else in the home.

Homeshare is a preventative, shared living model used successfully across the UK and internationally for decades, helping to reduce loneliness, improve wellbeing and delay the need for more intensive services.

Homeshare is changing lives every day, not only up and down the country, but globally.

Christmas is often described as a time of warmth, togetherness and joy. The lights go up, adverts show bustling family homes, and conversations everywhere turn to plans, visitors and celebrations.

But for many older people living alone, Christmas can feel very different.

This weeks blog post we're talking about how this time of year can quietly magnify feelings of loneliness, sadness and pressure, especially for those whose homes have grown quieter over time.
