\"loneliness<\/h2>\n

A short film entitled ‘Just another day’<\/h2>\n

Alongside the new findings published to launch Age UK’s Christmas campaign, No one should have no one, the Charity has produced a short film entitled ‘Just another day’<\/strong> which shines a light on the crushing, chronic loneliness which 1.2 million older people are living with in England.<\/p>\n

Directed by the award winning and highly acclaimed Philippe Andre, ‘Just another day’ shows the everyday monotony of a lonely widower.<\/strong> For him, as for millions of older people in our country, each day is much like the last, and in the film we see that even Christmas is no exception.<\/p>\n

Sadly, this is the heart-breaking reality for many older people in this country.<\/strong><\/p>\n
