Young & old phone call scheme to help isolation in Bucks

This pandemic has made some people old and young feel lonely and feel like they just need to chat to someone.

That is where Health and social care company Care & Carers come in.

They have started a scheme in Bucks where old and young generations can chat to each other in weekly phone calls. 

Callea, who is a care coordinator, told us about how the clients at care and carers feel about the phone calls. 

"We've been running for 3 or 4 weeks now and the impact it has made is incredible. The children are extremely excited on their days to make their phone calls to their buddies, they are eager every week, they've already started to strike that friendship."

She also told us what kinds of things the children and older people speak about on their phone calls, listen here!
