BEAm Bramley Elderly Action newsletter Winter 2015Happy ending with befriendingChristine KearsleyChristine is a volunteer befriender to BEA member Jim (aged 97) whom shecalls ‘a proper gent’. Last year they were looking through some of his photosand came across one of a family he stayed with in Italy during the war. Jimtold Christine that he had been back to Cervinara to visit but unfortunatelythey had moved on. A lady in the village had given Jim some forwardingaddresses which he had kept. Christine offered to try to make contact, which Jim readilyagreed to. She took names and addresses home with her and put a short story on a socialnetwork hoping that it would mean something to somebody out there who would rememberJim. Four months later someone who said she was the daughter of one of the named childrengot in touch, and sent an email containing the same photo that Jim had shown Christine! Herheart was in her mouth and she couldn’t wait to tell Jim. He was very emotional, and from thenon many photos and emails were exchanged with the family, who had also been looking forJim, and now wanted to come to England to meet him. Their visit finally happened in October.Despite it being over 70 years ago they all remembered each other and very clearly. It was avery special and emotional time for Jim. Christine is very proud of having helped to make thishappen.Phone Maureen on 236 1644 if you are interested in being a volunteer befriender.Meet the caretakerClaude Davis,Bramley Community CentreAs caretaker of Bramley Community CentreClaude Davis is responsible for the day-to-dayrunning of the centre including opening andclosing, setting up rooms, cleaning, health &safety, bits of maintenance and above all,making sure groups are welcomed and lookedafter.

He getsparticular satisfaction from meeting the olderpeople who use the centre and from hearingabout their lives. As Claude says “There is somuch they could tell you.” Claude knows mostBramley Elderly Actionof the people who comeregularly to groups. Hefeels strongly that it’simportant for older peopleto have a caretaker theyknow, they can interactwith and can feel securewith when they come intothe building.The hardest part of the job for Claude is thatsometimes he sees people he’s known foryears gradually declining, and losing some oftheir physical capacity. Or if someone has afall, he helps them and is concerned aboutthem until he gets news a week later.Originally from St Kitts in the Caribbean,Claude came to live in Leeds in 1993.He loves cricket and has been a highlysuccessful captain of the Caribbean CricketClub for the last 13 years.
