A CARE home provider has provided a welcome cash boost to a loneliness
helpline.
HC-One, who run the Larchwood Care Home in Braintree, has announced it
will donate £100,000 to The Silver Line.
The Silver Line is the only free, national and confidential helpline
open every day and night offering friendship to older people.
The HC-One Foundation is a founding partner of the helpline, which has
just received its one millionth call.
Dame Esther Ranzen, founder of the helpline, said: “We’re really
grateful for this amazing donation from HC-One which will go towards helping us
to keep the vital night-time service going.
“We urgently need more donations from wonderful friends and supporters,
like HC-One - who are doing so much to ensure we are always there for the
people who need us most.”
Dr Chait Patel, chairman of HC-One, said: “HC-One are delighted to be
part of such an important project, and playing an active role in our local
community.”
