A volunteer will then do a weekly shop for the client and deliver it to their home.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey have been my lifeline,\u201d said Albert Ball, 92, from the Cardiff area. He has been a client at Age Connects since January, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Ball added: \u201cI had a fall in the house and I ended up in A&amp;E. I live alone and have very few connections outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAge Connects sent a couple of volunteers over to me and they do my shopping once a week.
