One in five elderly has 'no-one to turn to'
Posted: 30 Jul 2015, 06:50One out of every five elderly people in the UK who feel lonely say they have no-one to turn to, a survey indicates.
The Campaign to End Loneliness charity says older people need a "range of support" to help them fight loneliness.
Transport and technology are essential to support the elderly, says the charity, as it launches an online guidance service for local authorities.
The Local Government Association says given tightening budgets, it gives the best possible care to those in need.
