Hospital Radio Yare celebrated its40th birthday back in 2017 and weare still going strong. Wow, that is along time to be broadcasting.We are one of the most successful

hospital stations around and apartfrom our commitment to supplying allgenres of music to hospital patients,we also operate outside of thehospital environment by providingpublic address systems for variousevents and fetes in the area.For the last three years we have

supplied our systems and volunteersto Martham Fun Carnival, two days offun operating from a forty-foot trailer,and a stall for our fundraising team tosell goodies and jewellery, hand madeby our fund raiser Rachel Fyfe. Our mascot Yare Bear is always on

the scene to the delight of the youngerfolk too. We will be back there againthis year and at Caister again too.Please come and support these localevents which are made possible by alot of hard work by various charities

and volunteer groups. Whilst you’rethere you can request a song andhave a great day out and at the sametime helping others.

If you need a PA. system for yourevent in the future, why not give us acall.Back at the studio, based in the

James Paget University Hospital, wehave an engineering room which alsoserves as a recording studio foradvance programming. Our librarian,Russell Bird, spends a lot of time inhere cataloging the many thousandsof music tracks we have and use onour programmes.We also have a main output studio

which is, so they say, better equippedthan some professional stations. We transmit on 1350AM and over

the last couple of years our engineer,Shane Carson, has linked us to theWorld Wide Web! This means we canbe heard on smart phones, i-Pads etc,by downloading free apps (Radioboxor TuneIn Radio), putting us ‘up therewith the big boys’!Everyone at Hospital Radio Yare is a

volunteer and we all love what we do.Indeed, we pay to do it in the form ofa very modest yearly subscriptionwhich helps our funds and providestea and biccies!

I have only been a member of RadioYare for a few years but wanted toshare my experience with you all.I’ve always wanted to be on the

radio so applied to join after meetingLinda and Shane and decided to giveit a go. It started off as training on a

Tuesday night with Shane, watchinghim do his thing and showing mewhich buttons to press, how theMyriad computer system worked andhow to play a CD, etc. Then, withsupervision, it was my turn.I was very nervous but once I had

done it a few times my confidencestarted to grow. Eventually I wasgiven a Thursday spot and trainedwith Andrew, another experiencedpresenter, playing songs from myfavourite decade – the 90s – from theBackstreet Boys to the Spice Girls, Imade the show my own. One day I got the shock of my life;

after months of training Linda andAndrew told me I had qualified as afull presenter. I was so excited... myown show. Wow I thought! You canlisten to me on a Thursday afternoonfrom 3pm until 5pm when I play 90’ssongs. I have called my show Jay’s90s. After a while I thought it wouldbe great to expand it, so added the

Noughties and made it the 90s andNoughties show with music from1990 all the way to 2009.I help with fundraising, from

collections to events; my favourite isthe Martham Carnival, I love it. I’ve met some great people

and some I now call my friends. I evenpresent a few request shows on aweekday 8-10pm. I have currently put 90’s and

Noughties on ice and present a threehour show called Jay’s Favourites on aThursday afternoon 2pm-5pm, playingall types of music from all years. I’m looking forward to more events

and even a party dance or two withAndrew, as we both have holidaypark experience.This is the best thing that’s happened

to me and I thank Shane, Linda andAndrew for making it happen, my mateChris who has supported and believedin me from the start, and all thepresenters and members for makingme feel so welcome.Hospital Radio Yare has great music

and great volunteers and if you haveever thought of being a radiopresenter this is the place for you.Get in touch on our Facebook page

in their natural surroundings and fewpeople knew what kinds of fish were tobe found in the seas and oceans of theworld. It was not practical to moveaquatic creatures around the country, theonly answer was a permanent display, anaquarium, the aquatic counterpart of thezoo. Keeping fish in an aquarium hadbecome a popular hobby following theGreat Exhibition of 1851 and in 1853 thefirst public aquarium in the world wasopened in London Zoo, in a buildingappropriately called the Fish House.

Twenty-three years later, in September1876, an Aquarium was opened in GreatYarmouth. The building consisted of alarge central hall, a dining room, readingroom and reference room. On the flatroof above the main hall was an open-airskating rink while in the hall was a stagefor concerts and other entertainment.

Nine fish tanks were arranged oneither side of the hall, varying in sizefrom 17 feet to 55 feet. The smallest tankheld 2,500 gallons of water while thelargest held 26,000 gallons. Salt waterfor the marine fish was piped directlyfrom the sea via an underground pipe.The fish included a shark, gigantic crabs,conger eels, seahorses and crayfish aswell as specimens of fresh water fish

from the Norfolk Broads. At each end ofthe hall was a large pond, one forcrocodiles, alligators (one five feet long)and turtles, the other for seals. Over 300tons of rock was brought in to decoratethe ponds and tanks. New arrivals wereoften advertised, a porpoise, an octopusand sea anemones among them.

Entertainment included an orchestra,singers, comedy and drama plays andlight entertainment. The entrance fee tothe aquarium was sixpence (2½p) butunfortunately the attendance figuresnever reached the hoped for levels andfour years later the aquarium was in thehands of the liquidator.

More theatrical entertainment wasprovided from 1881 and the Prince ofWales attended performances on twoconsecutive days but even this could notboost income and, when no buyer couldbe found, the doors closed for the lasttime on 30 September 1882.

The building was almost rebuilt andreopened in July 1883 as a theatre and,despite the fish having been removed,was now called the Royal Aquarium.Today, after many transformations overthe subsequent years, it is the HollywoodCinema but still referred to by many as‘The Aquarium’.

INTO THE LION’S DEN and A FISHY TALE

Today animal welfare andconservation is top of the list but this hasnot always been so. The Sea Life Centreon Marine Parade, Great Yarmouth,opened in September 1989 and, with itslarge collection of marine creatures, hassince been one of the main all the yearround attractions in the town. Although itoffers people the chance to see fish andother marine creatures at close quartersits main aim, the same as local zoos andwildlife gardens, is conservation andeducation.

In Victorian times, however,conservation was not a consideration aswealthy gentlemen went on big gamehunting expeditions to bring backtrophies to adorn their walls. The rarerthe animal the more prestige the homeowner had when showing off hiscollection, the fact that the animal was ofa fast disappearing species did notmatter. While skins of tigers and otheranimals covered the floor, the heads ofanything that could be shot adorned thewalls of most great houses. One of themost prized trophies was a stuffed polarbear, standing guard at the foot of agrand staircase. Rare birds did notescape the collector as many specieswere shot to extinction.

The only opportunity most people hadto see wild animals at close quarterswas when a travelling menagerie arrivedin town. Manders Menagerie appeared at

the Yarmouth fair in 1860 withperforming lions and when the lion tamerwas attacked by one of the animals, hedrew his pistol. The trigger caught in theanimal’s mane and the pistol went off, abullet hitting a spectator in the eye, forwhich he received £150 compensation,equivalent to over £17,000 today.

Bostock & Wombwell’s Royal Menageriewas the best known and largestmenagerie in the country, visitingYarmouth several times. The first visit wasin 1882 when it set up in the Market Placefor seven days. Subsequent visits occurredalmost every year thereafter. In 1902 themenagerie was said to have over 700birds, beasts and reptiles on show.

Five years later it included lions andthe proprietor of the Fish Stall House pubin the Market Place made a wager of£10 that he would enter the lion’s den.He remained in the den for threeminutes, thus winning the bet and waspresented with a gold medal by themanagement as a souvenir. Quite asizable wager as today this would be theequivalent of £1,200.

Conservation and welfare were not toppriorities for menagerie owners, whatwas most important was theentertainment value of the animals andwhich could attract the largest crowdsand make the largest profit.

Fish, however, were very different. FewVictorians had the opportunity to see fish

James Paget University Hospital. Thiswas very successful and to date theyhave trained all the dementia team in‘The Paget’. They also train theapprentices who will be going to workon the Dementia ward.They have had help and support

from Comeunity in King Street, GreatYarmouth and have been funded byNorfolk Community Foundations andGreat Yarmouth Borough Council tohold Dementia Awareness days and totrain members of the public how to usereminiscence techniques both in theworkplace and at home.These training sessions have been

very successful receiving excellentfeedback from the candidates. As well as NHS staff, they have

trained care home staff, Library staff,Borough Council staff, D.I.A.L. staff,various shop staff and members offamilies who have relatives living withdementia.Their training package teaches

anyone how to ‘work with what isthere’ and how to ‘go into the world’ ofsomeone living with dementia andwhat ‘triggers’ to use to do it. It is a funcourse and is open to anyone to takepart, just ring the Memory Joggers on07549 177537 to learn more about thecourse.


The Memory Joggers team are RadioYare members Bob Warnes andSheena McBain who are ReminiscenceTrainers. They have been working inthe reminiscence field for the past 11years. They started by takingreminiscence sessions in care homesthroughout East Anglia which involveda lot of travelling. They were howeverreally impressed with the way their‘product’ was received by both theresidents and management and thefact that although reminiscence wasnothing new, they hadn’t seen it put togood use before.‘We really enjoyed taking these

sessions and the residents lookedforward to our visits, they became ourfriends and we learnt so much fromthem about the way it used to be andthe things they did when they wereyounger.‘Whilst working in the care home

situation, we came across severalpeople who were living in secure unitswith severe dementia and every nowand then we would hit on a subjectthat even they could remember. Believeme that was like opening up a pot ofgold because if you can imagine a

resident who has not reacted toanything around them suddenlybecoming animated and joining in,albeit with just a few words, it makes itall worthwhile.’Dementia is an illness that touches

most of us at some point in our livesand it is hard to know how to deal withit, what to say, what to do and how tohelp the person living with dementia tolead a fuller life. It is possible to do thisusing various reminiscence techniqueswhich can make this life a bit easier forboth the patient and the carer.After a few years on the road, Bob

and Sheena decided the travelling wasbecoming too much and they thoughtthey could put their talents to trainingpeople how to take reminiscencesessions; this proved to be the wayforward.They started off by training staff

from care homes and holding dementiaaware days. It was at one of theseevents in Norwich they were contactedby the NHS and asked if they would doa workshop at Hellesdon Hospital andshow them exactly what they did.Around three months later they were

asked to train six nurses from the

The Tollhouse

The Tollhouse is believed to be one ofBritain’s oldest civic buildings. It wasbuilt in 1190 for a wealthy merchantwho, in 1262, sold it to one Stephen deStalham who purchased it as a presentfor his wife.It was in 1333 that it was first rented

out to the borough, and here theycollected taxes from both local andforeign fishermen, and, would youbelieve, bakers who made bread andsold it from their window!The Barons of the Cinq Ports, who

ruled Great Yarmouth in the early days,used to meet here to decide what wecould and couldn’t do; even then wewere ruled by southerners!The Tollhouse gaol was a place to be

avoided at all costs. If you were unluckyenough to have been caughtcommitting a crime, you would havebeen arrested and put down into thehole on the end of a piece of rope andany food would have followed thesame way. When it was your turn to be

dealt with you would be ‘hauled upbefore the beak’ literally on a piece ofrope.Courts took place in what is called

the Hieghening Chamber which is onthe first floor. There was a publicgallery and a place for the Jury to sit,and between them the Judge and thecrowd, your fate was sealed. If theycouldn’t decide if you were innocent orguilty, there was a thing called ‘trial byordeal’. This entailed heating up aplough shear or some other piece ofmetal and ‘inviting’ the poorunfortunate to pick it up, his hand wasthen bound up and if three days later itwas ‘still a bit red’, it was decreed hewas guilty and would be dealt with! If itwas a more straight forward case andthey were found guilty, the prisonerwas sent through a trap door to theground floor, which served as thegaoler’s quarters. It was from here youhad a choice of whether to go andspend your sentence in the master

debtor’s side, rooms which adjoined thegaoler’s quarters, or God forbid, youwere put down ‘the hole’. It alldepended on money and if you didn’thave any then there was no choice, youwere put downstairs but if you hadmoney, you had the choice of a roomabove stairs, food supplied by thegaoler, at a cost, and it got better! Asthe Tollhouse had a liquor licence youcould choose between beer or wine,again supplied by the gaoler, at a cost.Better still, if you required ‘pleasures ofthe flesh’ he could arrange that as well,at a cost! After that it then got reallysilly. If you were prepared to pay outyou could hire someone to ‘sit yoursentence’, in other words as long asyou were in your room between 5 atnight and 8 the next morning, you werefree to carry on as normal in the day. Ithas been said that many of the richestfamilies in Great Yarmouth started offby sitting peoples sentences!

If you were consigned to the hole,then you went into the undergroundspace some 20 feet long, 12 feet wideand 16 feet deep, along with around 20other prisoners, with the only way outbeing by a rope, it was effectively astone box.

Together with your fellow inmatesyou ate, drank, slept and went to thetoilet all in this very confined space,with no privacy at all. It was at a laterdate that cells and quarters for femaleswere installed. Until that time men,women and children over seven, sharedthis hell hole and lived, or not, in thefilth, which incidentally was cleaned outtwice a year by a guy called CasementCarter who charged the Gaol £10 4shillings and 6 pence to do so. Justthink of what he pulled up in his bucket!

In the 1600s we know the gaoler wasa franchisee of the Council who soldprivileges. For instance he charged oneshilling a meal if you were in the richquarters, one penny a night to find yourown bed, four pence for whipping aprisoner, one shilling to brand aprisoner and six shillings and eightpence to hang a prisoner. He was incommand. Indeed, if a prisoner wasreleased by the courts but owed himmoney for keep, then the gaoler wouldnot free him or feed him, leaving theprisoner to his own devices.

If you walk along past the Tollhouseyou can see a boarded up windowwhich looks as if it emerges from thepavement. It is said that there would bea hand through the window bars at allhours begging for money to pay thegaoler to get out of jail. If you were alocal, Yarmouth, Gorleston, thenrelations would come and bail you outbut if you were a foreigner, Acle orMartham, or even further, nobody knewyou were there so help did not arrive!

In 1645 the Witchfinder General,Matthew Hopkins, came to town todeal with Yarmouth’s witches, who hadbeen sorted out prior to his arrival.There were seven but one of them‘pleaded her belly’. She was pregnant.

The other six were taken to theriverside, stripped, tied up with ropeand were ‘swum’ in the river. If theywere dead when they were pulled out,they were decreed to have beeninnocent but if they survived being‘swum’ they were guilty as chargedand taken to be hanged.In the 1700s, the gaol became more

accessible with a wooden ladder andiron bars at one end. Prisoners weretransported, at first to America but at alater date to Australia. It was basicallya one way ticket.A lady called Sarah Martin, a

seamstress from Caister, heard of theterrible conditions in the gaol and cameto see if she could help. At first she wasdenied access by the gaoler but shepersevered and finally he gave in andallowed her in. She brought Christianityto the gaol with services on Sundays;she taught the prisoners how to makehousehold items from bones and wentout to get materials so the womencould make aprons. She would thentake these items and sell them on themarket and the money was kept sothat when the prisoners’ were releasedthey had a little money to go ‘outsidewith’. When she passed away, insteadof carrying on her good works, thepowers that be installed a treadmill.The cells that are still there today

were used for solitary confinements,and the end nearest the road was usedas the condemned man’s cell; this iswhere he would have spent his lastfew hours before being taken to thegallows – what a sad thought.

The Tollhouse closed in 1878because it was a dirty, filthy place; itwas bombed out in 1941.

Quay, at the corner of Row 142, in 1583.Ten years later a clock was placed on theDutch Chapel, a building later to becomethe Town House, on South Quay.

From the mid-eighteenth century clockswith large dials, sometimes five feetacross, began to appear in inns andtaverns. Known as Tavern Clocks orParliament Clocks, these were providedfor the benefit of the many people who didnot have a timepiece of their own. In 1797an Act of Parliament levied a tax on allclocks, even those in private houses. Thetaverns and pubs were often the onlylocation for obtaining the correct time,tavern owners happy to pay the tax as theclocks drew in customers. In the innsalong coaching routes, these clocks wereessential for timing the coaches. Asindustrialisation increased it became moreessential for people to know the accuratetime. The introduction of the railways inthe nineteenth century, broughtstandardised time throughout the wholecountry for the first time. Until then timediffered in different towns and cities.

One of the earliest forms of a publictime signal was the time ball. Initiallyinstalled at major ports, a time ballconsisted of a large wooden or metal ballwhich dropped at 1pm each day to enableships to set their chronometers. The firstone was erected at Portsmouth in 1829and one which still exists today waserected on the Greenwich Observatory,London in 1833. They were not, however,restricted to seaports as in 1853 theNorwich Chronicle announced that a timeball, connected by electric telegraph withGreenwich Observatory, was to be placedin the Market Place, because of inaccuratepublic clocks.

In 1858 a similar time ball wasproposed for Great Yarmouth, to beerected on the new Sailors Home, due toopen in 1860, but for unknown reasons itwas never installed. In August 1900 a

time ball was erected on the battlementsof Norwich Castle, used to announceGreenwich Time every day at 10am.

In 1807 the first clock was placed on thetower of the parish church and in 1876 astriking clock with four faces placed on thetower of St Peter’s church. Public clocksnow became more popular and theintroduction of the electric clock in the1890s allowed smaller timepieces to beprovided on shops and other buildings.

Household clocks and personaltimepieces were, however, stillunaffordable for many people and thepublic clock was essential until the mid-twentieth century. Today there are fewpublic clocks left and many which do stillexist do not work or are unreliable.

As Time Goes ByAlmost

everything wedo relies onknowing thecorrect time.From catching abus, anappointment atthe dentist orwatching afavourite TVprogramme, weneed to knowthe time. Toachieve this wehave personalwatches ormobile devices

or rely on household or public clocks.This is, however, a recent way of life.

For hundreds of years the time of day wasdetermined by observing the movementsof the sun, the moon and the stars orsimply by night and day. The only personin a community who needed moreaccurate divisions of the day was thepriest, to enable him to summon hisworshippers with reasonable regularity.

From Saxon times this had been donewith scratch dials, sometimes called massdials or time dials. These consisted of acircle incised on a south wall of a religiousbuilding with lines, up to 24, radiatingfrom a central hole. A short stick or metalspike placed in the hole allowed the sun tocast a shadow along one of the lines andfrom 608AD the Pope ordered that such adial be set up on all churches. Many ofthese scratch dials survive, one localexample is on the south wall of St Mary’sat Burgh St Peter, at the side of thepriest’s door. How did the priest determinehis times during periods of prolonged badweather? Probably by calculatedguesswork.

In use at the same time were sandclocks, also known as hour glasses, firstrecorded in Europe in the eighth century.By the fourteenth century these werebeing used aboard ships and in privatehomes. Sermon glasses, another name foran hour glass, were fixed to church pulpitsto give the preacher an indication whenhis sermon had overrun. An example ofone of these can be seen today in thechurch of St Edmund at South Burlingham.

From the middle of the fifteenth centurythe more accurate sundial was replacingthe scratch dials. An early sundial stillexists in the town, on St George’s, built in1714. In 1826, there were four publicsundials in the town, one on the DutchChapel on South Quay, now demolished,one on the south porch of St NicholasChurch and two on St George’s Chapel,one of which was restored in 2010, nowthe only public sundial in the town.However, on days when the sun didn’tshine, telling the time could be difficult.

Mechanical timekeeping developed inthe thirteenth century, principally used inmonastic institutions and churches as areplacement for the earlier weatherdependant devices. The complex patternof religious services at that time requiredcareful and accurate regulation. Somecathedrals had a mechanical clock,including Norwich, by 1290.

The oldest surviving church clock is inSalisbury cathedral, first recorded in 1386,although only the mechanism hassurvived.

Clocks remained rare, expensive andunreliable until the sixteenth century whenmore reliable timepieces began to beimported from Germany. The early clockswere weight driven but in the seventeenthcentury the pendulum was introduced,greatly improving the accuracy ofmechanical clocks. Probably the earliestpublic clock in Great Yarmouth was thatset up in the tower of a house on South

would then show you her dead budgie,which she kept on a newspaper on thestairs. Another Danish tradition?One day, whilst sitting on a bench in

Station Square in Lowestoft, a man satnext to her. He was on a coach tripfrom Kings Lynn. He had looked afterhis parents for a number of years butthey had died and it was his first tripaway from home. Tove announced it

was ‘divine intervention’ and he wouldhave to marry her... which he did!Tove passed away. Her piano, the

Hornung & Moller, now resides in mypiano showroom. It is for sale, it hasgreat provenance as they say on theAntiques Roadshow. It is very special,and perhaps if you bought it Beethovenvud come in to you ven you played.Kimble Reynolds


IN TUNE

In 1978 I was a self-employed pianotuner and one of my first clients was alady who resembled a sack of potatoes.The painting above her piano showedthe lady herself naked when she wasmuch younger, which only managed tocreate the impression of a smaller sackof potatoes.Tove Larsen, her professional name,

even though she had never been aprofessional; Mrs Bell in reality. Tovehad befriended an English man inDenmark at the end of the war. Hehad returned to England and by allaccounts she had followed him andtracked him down, even though hethought he was safe hiding inLowestoft!On my first visit, standing outside the

large imposing front door, I heard thepatter of Danish feet rushing down thestairs. Tove flung open the door and tomy amazement the ‘sack of potatoes’was wearing a short lime greennegligee. She huffed ‘come in kvickly, Ineed to be tuned to concert pitsch.’ Ishuffled quickly away muttering that Imust have come on the wrong day.Tove was soon on the phone

demanding another appointment, hersister, who was a brilliant pianist, wasto make a special visit from Denmark

and the piano had to be perfect. I wastold on a regular basis throughout thework, ‘Ve vill now vash our handtz.’Tove had a hand washing fixation!When I had finally finished, Tove

mounted a very low piano stool, hernose a hairs’ breadth from the pianokeys. She began to hammer them as iftrying to catch a mouse with bothhands. She shouted above the din, ‘VenI play Beethoven he come in to me’. Atthis point she fell off the stool!A few days later she phoned to say ‘I

vil not be payink you’, she’d had amassive argument with her sister, whohad gone straight back to Demark andshe knew I would feel guilty as I wouldbe taking her rent money.On another occasion Tove phoned

excitedly to ask if I could tune the pianoin St. Peter’s Church in Lowestoft, anddid I know of anybody who could makeher a dress as ‘I vant to look like a fairy.’(The mother of one of her pupils actuallymade the dress for her). On the night ofthe concert, Tove proudly mounted thepiano stool with her vest only showingslightly under the fairy dress, her tiaraheld on with a piece of elastic. Sheadjusted herself on the piano stool toher favoured position. As she paused toplay her first refrain, Tove’s hooped skirtflew up at the back above her head toreveal her very lacy drawers followed bythe exasperation of the audience asthey tried to control their laughter!Tove unfortunately lost her husband

and on one of my visits I saw what shehad prepared for his evening meal, sohis demise was of no surprise to me.She recovered fairly quickly and wouldshow photographs of him as he lay inhis coffin. A Danish tradition? She


It’s true to say that if you make somethingsimple enough for everyone to use, thenthey will.Esther Rantzen’s vision to create a

‘ChildLine for older people’ is a simpleconcept – a free 24 hour helpline, availableevery day and night of the year, where youcan ask about services in your area, talk inconfidence, get some friendly advice or quitesimply have a chat. And for people whowould appreciate a regular call from thesame person every week there are nowmore than 1200 volunteer Silver LineFriends who share the belief that a simpleconnection with another human being canbe life-changing. As one caller told his SilverLine friend ‘when I get off the phone, I feellike I belong to the human race’.More than half of all 75 year olds in the

UK live alone and one in ten suffers intenseloneliness but is reluctant to ask for help. Ina poll conducted by ComRes for The SilverLine, 9 out of 10 older people toldresearchers that ‘a chat on the phone’ is themost helpful solution when they feel lonelybut 1 in 4 older people say they rarely haveanyone to chat to. Some older people go forseveral days without talking to anotherhuman being.The incidence of loneliness and isolation

among older people is not just shockingbecause it makes them so unhappy, it has ahugely detrimental effect on their health,increasing the risk of heart disease andcausing depression. Figures from theDepartment of Health indicate it is asdangerous as obesity or smoking 15cigarettes a day. Socially isolated and lonelyadults are also more likely to undergo earlyadmission into residential care or hospital.The Silver Line has been operating as a

national service for over a year and has

received more than 425,000 calls. So thesimple idea is having a transformationaleffect on the lives of thousands of olderpeople and a huge and unmet need hasbeen revealed. There is no other helpline forolder people in the UK, available 24/7, freeand confidential and offering information,friendship and advice, linking older people tolocal groups and services and supportingthose who are suffering abuse and neglect.Dorothy is 84. Her husband Eric died after

58 years of happy marriage. With nochildren and her only surviving brother livingabroad, Dorothy has no family around her.She’s led a long and fascinating life but hasno one to talk to.Sometimes when loneliness hits, she will

‘have a little weep. It’s a feeling of beingabandoned’ she says. ‘The hardest thing iseating alone and the flat, dead nights...there’s nothing worse than trying to eat ameal on your own in my opinion. It seems tobring it home to you.’Dorothy contacted the Silver Line and

now speaks regularly to a volunteer SilverLine Friend. ‘It’s lovely. I so look forward toher call. I love talking to people. I’minterested in people’.Dorothy feels her life has taken a new

direction since discovering The Silver Line.She is enjoying spreading the word aboutour service and is taking a computer classand is determined to learn computer skills,so she can become more connected.Dame Esther Rantzen is the Founder and

President of The Silver Line Helpline.• £5 pays for a call with an older person

who may not have spoken to anotherhuman being all week• £50 pays to recruit and train a volunteer

Silver Line Friend• £100 pays for an older person to be

befriended for one year If you would like further information
