older people reading with children in primary schools

How does this impact on Community Wellbeing? Prevents loneliness and builds purpose for older people. Builds connection through story telling for the children. Helps with empathy and nurtures positive relationships. Why should the Committee focus on this as part of their future work? Lots of positives to build on. Loneliness and lack of connection / socialising is a huge challenge ahead for our growing ageing population.
