Seachange Charity is calling on members of the community to become monthly donors as demand for its services skyrocket.

The charity, known for combating loneliness and isolation, encourages locals with a keen interest to become a Friend of Seachange.

Marc Jobson, head of Seachange, said: "Demand for our services is growing.

"With your support, we can ensure no one faces loneliness and isolation.

"Every contribution makes a difference."

While £30 could provide vulnerable patients with much-needed transport for hospital appointments.

More generous donations, such as £50 a month, could support an individual with memory loss through their participation in the Memory Café.
