Getting ideas for people who struggle get out

Hi I totally understand where you’re coming from. Where I live is very remote. There aren’t any buses. I had to get a taxi to bring me home after being rushed into hospital. That cost me £30.00, which when on adult disability is hard to cover without going without something else. We have bee lucky enough to have been donated a week away. This is fantastic but it’s a first floor villa. My husband due to his Parkinson’s and dementia with Lewy bodies is extremely wobbly on his feet. I have problems with my lower back and hips. It sounds like I’m being ungrateful but that is not the case. The week away is in an area of natural beauty but neither of us will be able to go for walks. Taxis are too expensive. There is a rural transport available but when checking the prices again it seems expensive. So I understand totally what you’re saying. As said above yes there is online shopping but you never get to meet anyone or have a conversation. Do you have any groups locally like befrienders? I didn’t realise you can refer yourself and they come once a week for a coffee and a chat. It might be an idea to ask your Doctor if there are any groups that you could become a member of. I am a involved in caring for carers and we do a craft session about every 6 weeks on a zoom call. Again if gives you other people to chat to and it’s surprising the amount of advice they offer. I hope you manage to find something, if not I am happy to chat x

hi xodza I totally understand where you are coming from as I was having the same issue. That’s why I suggested asking your surgery if they are aware of any groups that you could become part of. Also contact you local council to see what they could recommend. It’s amazing what’s out there when you start asking. Maybe there’s a knitting group or sewing. Are there any clubs held with the local schools or college? There could be a zoom group that you could become a member of. So try talking to your Doctors surgery and your local council. Or what about online local Bingo? Do you have a local church. Try them as well as you’d be amazed at the groups available plus they usually hold a monthly tea and a catch up session. Fingers crossed for you x
