Loneliness in the elderly is a huge problem in the UK, especially within the elderly community. We wanted to raise awareness of this issue especially after a year full of anxiety, separation and isolation.
So we put together this short film inspired by the John Lewis Christmas Adverts to get the message across to love and look after each other this Christmas.

Let's work together to stop loneliness at Xmas! Donate to AGE Uk to make a difference and end 2020 the right way!

@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim 3 года назад

Sure. Give to a charity which already has *millions* in the bank. Then you won't have to bother with your lonely elderly neighbours. You've sent off your fiver after all!

When you *are* that elderly person, completely alone and isolated every Xmas despite having children and grandchildren, this hits home. Thank goodness I have my animals.The only time my daughter in law will have any interest in me is when I'm dead and she wants to know how much money will be coming to her and my son.(The answer is none. Not one penny.)

@icandy630 3 года назад

That is so sad. No one should treat someone like that. I know i'm a stranger to you, but you have my best wishes.

@sandraholmes7002 3 года назад

So very sad, but there are so many people like you in that position. We have quite a selfish generation. I also have two sons who have no interest in me whatsoever, no contact. Like you I have my animals, and they keep me going.

@janetyrrell9135 3 года назад

How right you are. My daughter in law hates me and I've never understood why.ive been blocked from seeing my grandchildren. Thankyou for your recognition of a lonely old ladys plight.

@sandraholmes7002 3 года назад

@@janetyrrell9135 There are I believe support groups around for grandparents apart from their grandchildren and children. Sadly there far too many people like yourself, me included. Unless you have expereinced the pain from being apart from your family, then it is often hard for others not to understand, the grief, this creates. It is a form of 'grief'.

@samanthameyers3509 3 года назад

This makes me so sad. I live 5000 miles from my mum and miss her so much as does my daughter. We were supposed to have been with her right now but because of Covid that has not happened. Your children do not know how lucky they are to be close to their mother. Its rare I get to spend Christmas with mine.

@sarmajere2866 2 года назад

I love this so much. I'm younger, but disabled, and tend to be a bit isolated socially because of that. My dog has kept me from so much despair and loneliness and sadness. He, and my beloved pug before him, are the reasons I've stuck things out. What a beautiful ad showing what that relationship can mean, especially the last few years!

Much better alternative to the, what I found to be racist and very offensive John Lewis advert. Well done. I don't expect everyone to understand this? For me dogs are far better company than most humans. You know where you are with them, always. I now think I know why some people have reported hearing ghosts sobbing. It could be for love lost and they are irreparably heartbroken? This add has a Goodnight Mr Tom style to it I think..
