Our Report can be viewed here

Elderly isolation (and as a direct result vulnerability) has increased  across the UK by 47% since 2014.

Our own Director of Public Health Report states:

Within West Northamptonshire the population of those aged 65 or over is likely to increase by a further 24%, and therefore a System Wide Approach and Initiatives within that are required to support our elderly residents.

Happy at Home continues to receive higher referral rates year on year. Our combined Social Value has been assessed at 531K.

Russell Rolph, the CEO of VIN states:

We all know an elderly neighbour, friend or relative who might need this service. Referral increases prove that Elderly isolation is a real issue, as is access to support when its needed. In an ever-changing digital world, where digital footprints and digital front doors often mean more cost-effective services, we must never forget a generation which are at risk of exclusion, as such exclusion often leads directly to vulnerability. It’s great to see the work that Happy at Home undertake, in addition to the fantastic Social Value provided. More than that though, it’s about the stories: I hope people enjoy the read.
