Bob is 82 years old and has started to struggle with little things that so many of us find simple. He might struggle to follow simple steps such as following a recipe when cooking a meal or doing certain chores, he might also get muddled with peoples' names. However, he loves the outdoors, his garden is his pride and joy, and he loves going out for a lovely walk (weather permitting), but he struggles to do the things he enjoys from time to time. He can get a bit lonely too as his son and grandchildren live abroad and he needs a bit more help round the house. Could you be the person to make a difference to Bob?
