Our services are free to people aged 75 and over who are experiencing social isolation and loneliness.

Tea parties are monthly social groups that give older people regular afternoons of conversation and laughter with friends of all ages.

Call companions ensure older people stay connected to the outside world by providing a regular chat over the phone with the same friendly volunteer.

Activity groups get older people moving and allow them to make connections with other people in their local area.
