Contact the Elderly

 


Contact the Elderly is a free voluntary service that offers friendship and a monthly outing to lonely elderly people.

Our volunteers enjoy taking elderly people to monthly group meetings for a few sandwiches, cakes, talk and companionship - so simple, yet it can change lives and create great new friendships across the generations.

Contact the Elderly helps over 3000 people through 240 groups throughout the UK.

Please help us create more groups by volunteering to be a:

Driver - if you have use of your own car and can spare a Sunday afternoon once a month to collect the elderly guests and join them for tea.

Host - if you are willing to invite a group to your home for a few snadwiches, cakes and cups of tea just once, or twice, a year. Since many of our guests have difficulty with stairs, a downstairs toilet is essential.

Group members are well into their 70s, live alone and are often unable to get out on their own. In many cases they have no relatives nearby and rarely receive visitors.
