Re-engage is making life less lonely for thousands of older people every year. Older people tell us that our volunteer-led activities make them happier and more able to trust others.
As we get older, our social circles diminish, and we find ourselves with fewer and fewer people to turn to. Imagine realising one day that all your friends and family have gone form your life. Loneliness can be cruel, and it affects millions of people over 75 who live in social isolation.
We also offer a telephone befriending service for LGBT+ people who are lonely, isolated or in need of companionship, and feel they would benefit from a friendly phone call every week or two. This service is specifically for LGBT+ people 75 yrs +, who would like to speak to someone who is also LGBT+.
