Older person's charity Alone has reported a 25% increase in demand for its services.

It follows an increase in demand of 50% in the previous year.

Alone said that the most frequent request for help from callers was in relation to housing issues.

The charity says the gap in social housing services for those aged between 55 and 70 must be addressed by the Government.
