Re-engage (Contact the Elderly)

Contact the Elderly is the only national charity solely dedicated to tackling loneliness and social isolation among older people.

We aim to do this by organising monthly Sunday afternoon tea parties for small groups of older people (aged 75+) who live alone, and volunteers within their local community, offering a regular and vital friendship link every month.

We organise monthly Sunday afternoon tea parties for people aged 75 and over, who live alone with little or no support from friends, family or statutory services.

The afternoons are full of fun and laughter and make a real difference to the lives of our older guests.

Other Details

Other notes

Each older person is collected from their home by a volunteer driver and taken to a volunteer host’s home for the afternoon. The group is warmly welcomed by a different host each month, but the drivers remain the same which means that over the months and years, acquaintances turn into friends and loneliness is replaced by companionship.
