I recently put a request for help on this site and quickly received responses from a few people.

Also thanks to the other respondants and also a great thanks to Neigbourly for this opportunity.
It is heartening (in these troublesome times) to know that we can rely on the good nature of many people if we are prepared to ask for it.
We do often hear of some poor behaviour from people on social media and news channels but there are very many more examples of people helping others so lets not forget it.
Merry Christmas to all who read this.
Cheers Ian

Stuff Ltd's recent support for Age Concern Wellington Region's Christmas appeal has been invaluable:

"Age Concern also experienced a burst of new interest and donations after we wrote about Rick Johnston and Denis White, who have been buddied up through Age Concern's visiting service. Johnston takes 82-year-old White out to lunch or to Mitre 10, or works in his backyard.
'But the best outcome has been the 35 volunteers signing up to help deliver social connection services to older people in our communities,” said Stephen Opie, chief executive of Age Concern Wellington. “We’re always needing more volunteers, so this has been a great response for us.'"
