Feeling a wee bit of sunshine today sending out some more devices to care providers ☀️We’ve still got lots of demand to help those receiving care in Scotland stay connected with their loved ones so if you can help with an old video calling enabled device please do get in touch 💜

Scotland is being urged to bring in an independent commissioner who would stand up for the rights of older people.
@DrDMacaskill says: “Ageism has been at the heart of so much of what has been the experience of older people during this pandemic."

With minimal visits & for the most part only outdoors for short periods of time video calling has continued to be a vital lifeline for loved ones to stay connected. Hearing from the care providers who have received donations is the absolute best! Link in bio on how to help ✨
