A social landlord has pledged to visit around 2,000 tenants across Dumfries and Galloway who are over the age of 70 to check on their wellbeing.
The drop-in visits by housing officers have begun and will continue over the winter months until March.
Wheatley Homes South (formerly DGHP) said the new initiative will see their housing officers provide advice and support to their pensioner tenants on paying energy costs, rent or on food bills.
