LISTEN: Vickie Day from the Red Cross talks about loneliness - 17/01/18

A woman from Sandwich has been invited up to Number 10 today, to be meet the Prime Minister about her work with lonely people in Thanet. Vickie Day, 22, was left temporarily unable to walk two years ago after an accident and found herself feeling isolated. She's now fully recovered and involved with a Red Cross campaign to help others feeling similar - making home visits to people in her community and getting them more involved in activities. She says she didn't realise loneliness can strike at any age.
