Charity: Re-engage UK
Re-engage provides vital, life-enhancing social connections for older people at a time in their lives when their social circles are diminishing. 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 from your life. Loneliness can be cruel, and it affects millions of people over 75 who live in social isolation. 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. We do this through our tea parties, activity groups, call companions and rainbow call companions (specifically for older LGBT+ people).
