Make an Impact That Matters
Loneliness is one of the biggest challenges facing older generations today:
​
-
2 million people over 75 live in the UK.
​
-
1 million haven’t spoken to anyone in the last 30 days.
​
-
3.3 million pensioners live alone.
​
Research shows that regular interaction can help delay dementia and improve overall wellbeing in older people.
​
​Why It Matters?
​
​
By giving a little of your time, you’re helping to fight loneliness and support some of the most vulnerable members of our society.
And one day, we’ll all grow old — the kindness we give today may be the kindness we receive tomorrow.
