Our @TNLComFund funded Walk & Talk helped Paula get back on her feet after “a fear of change and negative thinking, not trusting people and expecting the worst”
Paula stopped going out until assisted by her W&T Buddy. “Being able to walk and talk with no judgement it felt safe”💜

Cutting the Winter Fuel Payment is the wrong policy decision and will leave millions of older people struggling this winter.
Help us fight for it - sign our petition today: bit.ly/3yj228F
ALT Quote reads: We strongly oppose the means-testing of Winter Fuel Payment. As many as two million pensioners who badly need the money to stay warm this winter will not receive it. Attributed to Caroline Abrahams CBE, Charity Director, Age UK. Text at bottom reads Help us protect older people. Sign our petition.
