Call a grandparent, aunt or uncle

Phone an older relative and ask about their week.

Why it helps

Older relatives often wait for calls and rarely ask for them. Ten minutes of your time can fill their day.

How to do it

1. Choose a relative you haven't spoken to recently.
2. Call and ask about their health, garden or neighbours.
3. Say you'll call again soon and then do it.
