The founder of a Glasgow charity has been named on King Charles' honours list for her work when it comes to preventing pensioner lonliness.
Louise Russell launched 'Give a Dog a Bone… and an Animal a home’ in 2013 to help reduce isolation for over 60s with pet companions. The idea came to her when she spoke to a neighbour and discovered how lonely some single people can be, especially in later life.
Now, she acts as an intermediary between animal rescue facilities across the UK and people over 60 who are looking for pets and need financial support.
