A weekly visit for Christopher, 90, who lives alone in Leicester
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Christopher is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Christopher, who's 90. Christopher lives alone in Leicester, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 354 kilometers away.
Christopher loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person.
All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity.
No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience.
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck, Eleanor. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
