Corona Bloody Virus Extraordinary Episode 19: Martin Newton and Susan Childs from HOPS

Martin Newton and Susan Childs from Hawksworth Older People Support Services remotely connected to tell me about the work they do allowing older people to live independently and to improve the quality of life of the individual. 

They’ve had over 480 planned activities that have had to be cancelled due to Covid bloody 19 and tell us how the elderly are coping and what they’re doing to help. 

Music this week is the gorgeous track “Hide and Seek by Sunflower Thieves
