As people get older, some may find they spend more time on their own. This can sometimes feel lonely, boring or make people miss friends or family.

We offer free telephone friendship services for older people so they can enjoy chatting with someone over the phone, all from the comfort of your their home.

One of our services matches volunteers with older members of the public to have a weekly 30-minute chat together.

As a volunteer, you'd befriend someone who's 60 or over. It's a fun, safe, easy way to get to know someone new from the comfort of your own home. Lots of people tell us the chats are the highlight of their week.

If you'd like to make a difference to an older person's life, read through the rest of this page and see if it's the right opportunity for you.
