40 years of age gap is not an obstacle to Brendan and Mary’s friendship. Mary McCoy started visiting Brendan Crean in 2018 as part of the befriending volunteer programme @ALONE_IRELAND
I spoke to them for @VirginMediaNews and they were hilarious 😍
Wonderful charity which played a blinder during the pandemic. Supported Dad AND ME. Ringing up to check and pointing me in the direction of counseling and other services. And now lovely Joe visits Dad(97) to give him a bit of male company and chat. https://twitter.com/alone_ireland/status/1557668906839556097
