Contact the Elderly is a national charity which is 35 years old. Our aim is to relieve loneliness and isolation amongst elderly people aged 70+
The Contact idea is very simple and effective. A group of volunteer drivers use their own cars to collect the same elderly people once a month on a Sunday afternoon. Together they visit a volunteer host family for tea and an informal social afternoon. Groups are kept small so everyone can easily get to know each other. Outings provide a unique opportunity for fun, companionship and a chance to make new friends in lives often characterised by isolation and loneliness.
You could make a huge difference to someones live by giving just four hours of yours once a month.
