    SWINDON SENIORS FORUM A Voice for Swindon's Senior Citizens Patron: Shirley Ludford DL NEWSLETTER – October 2020 – Issue 25 Communicate Connect Celebrate Swindon Seniors Forum Open Meeting Message from the Chair: Norma Thompson Welcome to Swindon Seniors Forum (SSF) Autumn 2020 Newsletter. We hope you all have been keeping safe and well. The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown has meant that many people will have experienced loneliness for the first time in their lives, and as you know that loneliness and social isolation was a real experience for many people before lockdown and may well continue to be beyond, when the rest of the world returns to their socially connected lives. Life is particularly hard for those who live alone, must remain indoors and have no family. We would like to use the empathy and understanding for loneliness that COVID has brought to gather stories from people and carry out a questionnaire. I want to stress that loneliness certainly is not an inevitable part of ageing and in fact that it affects people of all ages, communities and cultures. We can only encourage people to remember the kindness and neighbourliness that lockdown has brought and to help to embed it into life after the pandemic has subsided. We are very aware that self-isolation will, for many older people, lead to increased loneliness, social isolation and possible mental health issues thus the need to seek support early. The free TV license for those over 75 ended in August. This is not good enough, but I doubt the BBC realises how much older people (especially those who are housebound or live alone) rely on the TV and radio for information and to combat loneliness.
