I read with interest the problems facing Age Concern with lonely people etc. St John Ambulance have an excellent service, that targets this type of situation, and are more than willing to help. All one has to do is to give them a call. The lady in charge of this Tauranga area is very competent and happy to help.
An approach to Red Cross could also be a good move. They will consider the problem and help in anyway they can.
We must not have lonely, upset people, in any caring Society.
