Should the worst happen this bottle, and theinformation in it, could give first responders and paramedics vitalinformation which could save a life.” If the project proves successful inLincoln, it’s likely to be rolled out to other parts of the country.The scheme is also valuable as many of the most vulnerable peoplein Lincolnshire live on their own. A recent report found that nearly afifth of over 75s felt lonely much of the time, and while a quarter of65-74 year olds live alone, that figure increased to nearly half of theUK’s over 75s. The loss of friends and family, mobility or incomemeans they may face difficulties in communicating, cut off from thejoy and pleasures of participating and sharing with others. Happilyacross the county a number of venues open their doors to allow olderpeople to enjoy conversation, companionship and entertainment.Charities such as Live Music Now are helping in this regard with aseries of events bringing music to groups of people who desire moreentertainment. Over the Humber in Yorkshire they have beenrunning the Songs and Scones programme to share the upliftingbenefits of live music concerts with older people, inviting people tosing along and dance, and working with volunteers to provide freetransport to the venues. Live Music Now have been illustrating thepower of music to bring people together in Lincolnshire before withthe successful LiveLINCS project that brought musicians into specialschools in the county.Initiatives such as this can ensure the later years can be just asenriching and exciting as any time in your life.Charitiessuch as Live Music Now are helping in thisregard with a series ofevents bringing music togroups of people whodesire moreentertainment128-131:Layout 1 20/5/13 11:32 Page 3Age UK LincolnAge UK Lincoln’s principal fields of activity to support thedelivery of services and promote health, wellbeing,independence and choice for older people are help in thehome – domestic support, personal care, lifelines and keysafes,information and advice, insurance, volunteering, Park Street Activity Centre, First Contact and CarersSupport Services.
