Friendly visitor needed for a 77-year-old neighbor in London

Looking for a friendly person in London to visit Cora once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Cora, who's 77. Cora lives alone in London, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Cora loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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. Thank you so much.

          I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of London.
