A word of thanks from ALONE.
We would like to offer you our sincere thanks for your continued support for ALONE since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland. If you are planning any news items or features on COVID-19, older people, loneliness, isolation, etc. over Christmas, we would greatly appreciate if you could continue to mention ALONE’s National Support Helpline, 0818 222 024.
To date, the ALONE COVID-19 Support Line has received in excess of 39,000 calls for support from vulnerable older people all over the country. The organisation will be keeping its support line open over the Christmas season for older people in need of support, advice, or reassurance.
