My 88-year-old mother-in-law lives on her own in County Durham. She isn’t in the best of health but gets by with regular visits from carers and family and like many people her age she values her independence and has no desire to move into a home.

Online hub North East Now aims to boost the regional economy over the winter period as its festive campaign continues.
It is hoped to drive sales in high-street gift shops, boutiques, bars, cafes and restaurants that have battled to survive past this difficult year and the coronavirus crisis.
Not only that, but also the websites of well-known regional businesses as well. This includes Fearless Fighter, an up-and-coming brand launched by former undefeated boxing champion Matty McAllister.
Matty, who is currently a professional boxing coach at the Northern Sporting Club in Aberdeen, decided to venture into the world of fashion design and start researching the ins and outs of the industry last year.
