APPEAL TO HELP THE VULNERABLE

 

Whist icy conditions persist, can I please remind you how difficult it is for many elderly people to get out and about in this weather, particularly those who rely on public transport or usually walk to the shops.  Since footpaths are icy, many may feel understandably anxious about walking even as far as the bus stop.

Relatives may be unable to reach family members, because of road conditions etc. and this can be a big worry for them as they might be unable to help.  If you do have elderly persons within your watch area, you might like to consider politely asking them if they need any help and if you are going to the supermarket yourself, perhaps you could either offer them a lift or ask them if they’d like to give you a shopping list of items they need which you could pick up for them whilst you’re there.
