  • Loneliness in the elderly is a huge problem in the UK, especially within the elderly community. We wanted to raise awareness of this issue especially after a year full of anxiety, separation and isolation.
    So we put together this short film inspired by the John Lewis Christmas Adverts to get the message across to love and look after each other this Christmas.

    When you *are* that elderly person, completely alone and isolated every Xmas despite having children and grandchildren, this hits home. Thank goodness I have my animals.The only time my daughter in law will have any interest in me is when I'm dead and she wants to know how much money will be coming to her and my son.(The answer is none. Not one penny.)

      @@janetyrrell9135 There are I believe support groups around for grandparents apart from their grandchildren and children. Sadly there far too many people like yourself, me included. Unless you have expereinced the pain from being apart from your family, then it is often hard for others not to understand, the grief, this creates. It is a form of 'grief'.

      This makes me so sad. I live 5000 miles from my mum and miss her so much as does my daughter. We were supposed to have been with her right now but because of Covid that has not happened. Your children do not know how lucky they are to be close to their mother. Its rare I get to spend Christmas with mine.

He, and my beloved pug before him, are the reasons I've stuck things out. What a beautiful ad showing what that relationship can mean, especially the last few years!

    Amazing Advert, the John Lewis one was too depressing. Merry Christmas

      I watched the Coca Cola advert this afternoon. Initially I thought it was a bit stupid until the very end then I had tears in my eyes.

    Lovely advert, this should have been shown instead of that other bad one!

    This commercial is so bittersweet. Most of my family is now gone, and those who are left don't bother (If I don't call them, I'd never talk with them).
