A charity is launching a campaign to help older people this winter.
Age Concern Hampshire's annual Christmas campaign, Past, Present, and Future, aims to support older people facing challenges during the colder months.
The campaign highlights three significant issues impacting later life: winter pressures, falls, and isolation and loneliness.
The charity aims to raise awareness, funds and attract volunteers to continue providing essential services across the county.

To tackle winter pressures, Age Concern Hampshire helps residents access essential financial support and helps with form-filling through its Information Service, ensuring older people get the help they need to stay safe and healthy.
Fall prevention is addressed through the charity's care and wellbeing centres and foot care clinics.
The campaign also addresses the issue of isolation and loneliness during the festive season, with support available at the care and wellbeing centres and through the Help at Home service.
Brogan Rehill, head of fundraising and volunteer services, said: "Winter can bring unique challenges for older people, from managing health and safety to staying socially connected.
"Our Christmas campaign highlights the services we provide and the ways the community can help.
"By donating or supporting our work, everyone can play a part in ensuring no older person in Hampshire faces the season alone."
