Marking WEAAD and World Loneliness Awareness Week at Taylor Cheshire House

Tenants at Taylor Cheshire House marked World Elder Abuse Awareness Day and helped kick off World Loneliness Awareness Week with a lovely day of connection, baking and fun.

The morning began with some on-theme purple fairy buns, followed by a Big Quiz in the afternoon, with 12 tenants taking part and prizes awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

The craic was had by all but more importantly, the day gave everyone a chance to reflect on the importance of looking out for one another, recognising loneliness, and making small commitments to stay connected.

At Threshold, including Glencarn House, we see every day the impact of stigma, gaps in services, and the difference that consistent, compassionate support can make. This is not just about awareness—it’s about how we think, how we respond, and how we do better.
