I do not know why a Gene feels the need to openly criticize or berate people? These people give up their time to work for a lovely charity whose aim is to help the many thousands of elderly people in Luton some of which dont have anybody! I think such an attack is vile and below the belt. I have had nothing but great attention, service and genuine support from my washing machine breaking down which flooded my flat to helping me with my shopping and cleaning. Such a credit to Luton, should be more of Age Concern! Some really awful people on the internet and its not fair or right. Google should seek that these comments be removed about named individuals.

After the covid pandemic the services the charity offers have understandably reduced but will pick up as soon as possible, hopefully by the end of 2022.
