Vegetarian for Life is the UK charity working on behalf of older vegans and vegetarians.

They run regular cookery demos and cook-alongs via Facebook or Zoom for the over 50s. They've delivered these in partnership with a number of organisations including Age UK, age friendly networks, and many carers groups. The hope is that these interactive cookery demos will help to reduce isolation for older adults and be a fun activity for them to take part in, as well as learning some new cookery tips and recipes. They can offer a diverse range of themes such as cooking on a budget, getting creative with storecupboard ingredients, vegan baking, bread making and more. They recently delivered some 'Facebook Lives' on their own Facebook page that can be viewed here.

Pen and phone pal scheme - A great way to help reduce isolation. Many close friendships have been forged through the scheme.

Resources that can help with fatigue, sleep and anxiety

The National Wellbeing Hub has wide-ranging free content which is aimed at encouraging us to look after ourselves and seek help when we need it.

It contains information on (evidence-based) resources to enable self-care and the most comprehensive information on services available (e.g. helplines, peer support) at national, regional and local levels.

A number of key resources are available on the National Wellbeing Hub, including apps and online programmes:

Can you help?

Do you know anyone who was in the Aberlemno WRI between 1952-1955?

Or did you know postman Hampton?

One armed postie Hampton, cycled from Forfar every day to deliver the post to Aberlemno whatever the weather. He was always cheerful and carries a lot of local news as well as the post.

When Aberlemno WRI were creating the embroidered map every WRI member put in some stictches to complete the map, which postie Hampton carried from house to house

Do you know anyone who was involved?

Did your mum/ granny help with a few stitches? Was your dad/ grandad/ uncle Postie Hampton?
