United Utilities urges Winter Wise warmth towards older people in Rochdale
People in Rochdale are being encouraged to extend a little Winter Wise warmth towards isolated older people as temperatures start to fall.
Contact the Elderly, a national charity tackling isolation among older people by organising regular Sunday afternoon tea parties, is recruiting volunteers and seeking guests in an attempt to set up its first group in Rochdale.
United Utilities has donated £3,000 in DIY store vouchers to the charity which will be used by volunteers from the water company to help Contact the Elderly guests buy pipe lagging materials and other items to prepare their homes for winter.
