Have you @RobbieRinder , heard about @SilverStories2 ...children ( our Silver Readers) read stories or poems over the telephone to older members of the community ( our Silver Listeners) once a week- magical relationships, the call has been described as "the highlight of my week"
Have you heard of homeshare? It’s an ideal solution for anyone older who doesn’t need full time care but needs some support & companionship in their home & overnight peace of mind. Today I’m delighted to become ambassador for @twogenhomeshare

A lovely event, so great to meet Silver Readers and Silver Listeners and to see the exciting books that the school has bought. Silver Stories is such a simple idea but brings joy to all who take part and certainly helps children's confidence in reading.
Delighted to celebrate @SilverStories2 with kind donation of £50 of books from David and Elisabeth Carney-Haworth, our silver listeners and our readers @kernow_learning #AsOne
