Elaine, who lives in sheltered accommodation, catches an Access bus to the store with friends and neighbours. She has lived in Halifax all her life, working as a shorthand typist.

Amanda said: “Elaine is my 102-year-old buddy. While I’m helping her with her shopping she tells me the secrets of life and tells me to ‘Hashtag don’t give a damn!’ She told me she likes to surf the web.”
