On the whole, ours is a caring and kind community and many people already keep a friendly eye on the older residents in our midst. During the present inclement weather it takes little to check on those who are vulnerable or live alone.
Just a knock on the door to ask if everything is alright or the offer of getting a few essentials when the weather is awful can be invaluable to someone living on their own, or a couple perhaps, who are not able to get out themselves, especially when any relatives they may have live a long distance away and are unable to visit.
It takes little to be a good neighbour but for those helped it can mean a great deal.
