St Austell MP Stephen Gilbert recently visited Abbyfield house, which is sheltered accommodation for older people, where he learnt about their latest campaign "Companionship at Christmas".
Abbeyfield is a national charity with 700 houses for older people throughout the UK accommodating about 7000 residents. Its hoped that their latest campaign will make a real impact on combating loneliness this year, offering older people an alternative to spending the celebratory period alone.
Commenting on his recent visit Stephen said "Abbeyfield are a great charity doing brilliant work in the area and their latest campaign highlights this. It was a pleasure meeting residents from all other the county who all met up to enjoy the Christmas festivities at the launch of the campaign."
