Retired social worker and Coordinator of the National Assistance Board’s (NAB) Elder Care Programme George Griffith is appealing to Barbadians not to forget the elderly and vulnerable in society this Christmas.He said as people get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the Yuletide season, the needs of elderly persons could be neglected.However, Griffith said not only should senior citizens and members of the disabled community be well fed and cared for over the holidays, they should also be included in the festivities.“We know that this is a busy period but we must not forget the elderly persons in our communities and also those disabled persons who are in wheelchairs and cannot get around and require assistance.
