Overcoming loneliness
In a typical week almost 2.6 million people aged 65 and over speak to three or fewer people they know, with more than 225,000 often going a week without speaking to anyone at all. New research by Cadbury Dairy Milk and Age UK illustrates the impact of
loneliness with more than half a million of those who’ve been lonely claiming it stops them going out and about in everyday life, with almost 4.5 million older people claiming to have felt lonely during later life. That’s why Cadbury Dairy Milk has launched a new- brand campaign, Donate Your Words, in support of Age
UK. For the fi rst time ever the nation’s number one chocolate brand will be removing the words from its iconic bars and “donating” them to the charity to help alleviate loneliness amongst older people. The limited edition bar will be sold nationwide until the end of October with 30p from each bar going towards Age UK. The campaign will also encourage Brits to donate their words by pledging to reach out and have a chat with older people in their communities. The survey found that simple, small gestures can play a part in helping to tackle loneliness with more than six million older people claiming a few minutes of conversation would make a huge difference to their week. • Visit
ageuk.org.uk/ donateyourwords and pick up a bar in store today.

FINAL RESTING PLACE
The recently opened Bluebell Cemetery in Halstead, north of Sevenoaks, is a much- needed facility that offers provision for traditional burial, woodland burial, cremation services and the placement of remains. Comprising 28 acres the
beautiful grounds have been developed to accommodate both formal and woodland burial whilst maintaining
an ambience of peace and tranquillity. Woodland graves are set amongst trees and wildfl owers with them being simply marked with a rustic stone or wooden plaque. As the name suggests, the tranquil woodland is full of bluebells in spring. • For more information, visit
