Don't leave Alf on the Shelf this Christmas, or in the New Year

For too many older people, Christmas is the most lonely time of the year, with 2.3 million older people wishing they had just one person to spend time with. Sadly, this is simply the daily reality of many older peoples' lives, and Christmas is just another day of feeling left on the shelf. Find out why we are urging people to Ask About ALF this Christmas, and to set a New Year's Resolution to help make a positive impact on the lives of older people.
