Telephone Friendship

Free

Age UK Telephone Befriending Service is a regular volunteer-led telephone companionship service designed to reduce loneliness and social isolation among older people. It matches individuals with a friendly volunteer who provides scheduled phone calls for conversation, emotional support, and ongoing social contact. The aim is to improve wellbeing, reduce feelings of isolation, and offer consistent human connection for people who may be living alone or unable to access in-person social opportunities.
