AIBU to check on elderly man from the neighborhood?

[CatherineTheTiny]

Hi everyone,

I am a childminder and on my way home from dropping off the child I take care of I met an elderly gentleman (around 70 probably) who clearly struggled with his groceries and stick, so I offered my help.
He agreed and walked to his home. He needed some breaks and when we were talking he told me that he had bought so much in fear of the bad weather forecast and not being able to leave the house because of that. He also said he has no family here but some neighbours, he doesn't want to be a nuisance though.
Would it be odd/intrusive to check on him later this week, just to see if he's doing okay or if he needs something and can't get it himself? It would be on my way home anyway but I am not sure if this is a "thing" in Britain so please help

A lovely thing to do and I'm sure he really appreciated it.

Well done Catherine. You may be "tiny" but you have a big heart :)

Often peoples lives can be improved just by the simple act of a conversation, and spending a little time with them.

I often have interactions with the public whilst going about my work. I remember one day knocking on a door and an elderly lady lived there all alone. The house was freezing. I went in, got it warmed,cooked her some breakfast and had a chat. Left her feeling much better.
