STATS

·    20,000 people in Norfolk are frail or                 slowing up in older age. More are                   depending on assistance with personal           activities or mobility.

​

·    Half of over 75’s live alone

​

 ·   One in ten older people tell their GP             they are lonely – which, doctors tell us is         as harmful to life expectancy as smoking       15 cigarettes a day

​

·    Nearly 2% of the population of Norwich         are living with dementia – and many of           the city’s companies struggle to cater for       their needs

​

·    £5000 could help give 150 lonely older           people someone they can talk to, with a         month of weekly befriending visits from         Age UK Norwich to improve their                   physical and mental health.
