On day four of our advent calendar we have Christmas cards, or, rather a request for cards! This time of year can feel particularly isolating for the elderly and vulnerable. However, Christmas cards can spark joy, inspire conversations and keep our service users in touch with the wider community. Why not send a card to our team to hand out on their rounds?

With temperatures set to drop, here's a handy guide for supporting those with dementia, as well as the elderly and vulnerable in cold weather

With temperatures forecasted to drop across the UK over the next few days, it’s important to make sure that we’re looking out for our loved ones living with dementia.

Winter can be a particularly difficult time for somebody living with dementia. The bad weather and colder temperatures can bring specific challenges, and can sometimes make symptoms temporarily worse.

They may not always be able to communicate that they are cold – or they might not even recognise it themselves.

Perception issues can also make it difficult for someone with dementia to see icy patches on a pavement or understand that a surface may be extra slippery.

So make sure to check in regularly on loved ones, friends and neighbours living with dementia, and follow our useful tips to help support them through the winter.

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, 1918, an armistice between Germany and England was signed. While the Great War, as it was called, didn't formally end until June 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, this was the start of the end to hostilities. Each year since we have remembered our fallen and honoured those who continue to dedicate their lives to our safety and security.

"When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today."

Today is Remembrance Sunday, a day for commemorating those who given their lives for our country and those who continue to serve; to honour their bravery and remember the fallen.

"At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them."
