Are you lonely?

Contact the Elderly helps relieve loneliness amongst isolated elderly people by creating small voluntary groups of drivers and hosts who organise outings for tea one Sunday afternoon a month at a host's home. This free service brings companionship to elderly people who live alone with little support.

This is what people have said about Contact the Elderly:

Before I joined Contact the Elderly, the only way I could make a difference from a weekday to the weekend was that I sat in an armchair in the week and moved to my sofa on a Sunday. (Margaret Clarke, 91)

When I've been out to a Contact tea I don't feel lonely. It makes such a difference. I just have memories of a lovely afternoon out with friends. (Harold Askwith, 89)

Over 20 years of going out with all my friends - it's more than a tonic! (Doris Gossage, 105)
