Help the Aged...

...one time they were just like you, drinking smoking cigs and sniffing glue.

"The project in Miles Platting and Newton Heath is designed to help older people get the basic help and/or company some lack and which you would expect to get from a good neighbour.

...

To help people prepare for volunteering we have organised some training (on working with older people, on basic first aid and on food hygiene) which will provide new knowledge and skills. This training will also provide certification (e.g. the Food Safety gains you an RSPH Level 2 Award), providing extra help to any volunteers who are applying for jobs."

FCUM.  Greatest football club on the planet.  Fact.

One of my favourite photos.  9 players ready, willing and able to play for the All Whites thanks to ACFC.  Good news is they're all back this season.
