being a burden for their families, resulting in many suffering in silence. It's for reasons such as this that Team v devised the 'End Loneliness' campaign. The campaign will see hundreds of young volunteer develop a range of projects and other initiatives to raise the profile of elderly isolation and develop inter generational activities that help to tackle loneliness. Such projects can include holding social events, visiting people in their homes, or even helping an older person to get online and make new connections through the web. Although it's early days, the campaign is starting to have an impact. Team v volunteer Sarah from Leeds has managed to gain the support of her local MP Hilary Benn. He attended one of her many inter-generational events, which gave older people the opportunity to talk to him directly about local services and other issues that affect them. Benn pledged his support and has also tweeted about the campaign helping to raise awareness. Last week, Sarah also attended the Leeds Older Peoples Forum AGM and met the Chief Exec of Age UK who has asked her to develop some intergenerational activities alongside Age UK. Elderly isolation is a major problem in the UK and it's set to grow over the coming years unless the next generation does something about. If you're aged 14-25 and want to help then join Team v and make a stand for older people by tackling the loneliness one hour at a time. Check out the video for more
