Manager's notes:Abbeyfield societies are guided by the shared beliefs of the movement: 1. Older people have an important role to play amongst their families, friends and in their community; 2. Overcoming loneliness and insecurity can make all the difference to an older person's wellbeing and quality of life; 3. Local people have an essential part to play in helping older people in their community.
