Hazel Watson: Age-friendly champion

Hazel volunteers as a trustee of Cross Gates & District Good Neighbours' Scheme and a table host of their initiative, Shared Tables.

A lot of people today live far away from their families, and schemes like this prevent older people from becoming isolated.

After attending Good Neighbours, Hazel was then asked to volunteer for the scheme. She gets involved in lots of different activities, such as walking groups, coffee mornings and Shared Tables, an initative which brings older people together over a meal.
