Posted @withregram • @clarencehouse “I want to encourage everyone to take the time to remember the older generation on 4th October, and to find creative ways to express our appreciation and gratitude to them.”

“More than a million older people say they go for over a month without speaking to a friend, neighbour or family member. Silver Sunday is the perfect moment to break the silence in which many live, perhaps with a telephone call to a grandparent, a card to an elderly neighbour or by hosting your very own virtual event.” 👋 💻

Ahead of Silver Sunday, the National Day for Older People, The Duchess of Cornwall has recorded a video message, calling for all to tackle loneliness and to “break the silence in which many live” this weekend.

Both The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall support older people via their Charities and Patronages including @royalvolservice, @thesilverlineuk & @age_uk.

Find how to get involved with Silver Sunday via @silversundayuk.
