A 101-year-old has stepped outside her house for the first time in six years thanks to a kindhearted volunteer who checked on her during the coronavirus lockdown.
Bessy has been stuck indoors for so long because her only real source of help is carers, who visit her everyday to carry out errands such as shopping and cleaning.
Unfortunately they do not have the authority or time to take Bessy for walks. Bessy hadn't eaten a hot meal for three weeks before James Sanderson went round to drop off a delicious plate of home cooked food.
The 42-year-old got chatting to Bessy, who has very little family, and was "mortified" to hear she had been cooped up in her small North Yorkshire home for years on end.
