LONELINESS

CHANGE BEGINS WITH JUST ONE PERSON

Linking Lives NG9 is the first project of its kind in the region, it will enable volunteers to reach out and befriend those who are lonely in the area, and to support them to visit our community hub and other activities in order to help them discover new friends and restore their place within a supportive community.

OUR FOCUS

Linking Lives brings people together to support socially isolated older people through home visits and engagement in social events and activities in the community. Weekly visits of between one and two hours, enable volunteers to make a significant difference to the lives of older people.

We receive referrals from local organisations, friends and family members. Volunteers are fully vetted, interviewed, trained and linked up with someone matching their interests and personality.

We are part of a national network of projects through Linking Lives UK.
