Chris, an 81 year old widower from South Manchester posted an advert on the social network Streetlife offering his 'wisdom and skills' to a young local family as a grandad figure. With no family of his own, he hopes to offer support with reading, homework or even sharing adventures and stories of his life's travels. But, he admits he's lonely. He explained to BBC Radio Manchester reporter Clare Freeman why.
