Contact the Elderly

Contact the Elderly is a national charity tackling one of the greatest challenges facing society: loneliness and isolation among our rapidly ageing population. Supported by a volunteer network of over 6,000 dedicated individuals, the charity organises monthly Sunday afternoon tea parties for small groups of older people in the homes of volunteers across England, Scotland and Wales. With over 470 groups nationwide, the charity provides a vital friendship link every month to almost 4,000 older people, aged 75 and over, who live alone without family and friends nearby.Β  Contact the Elderly is a registered charity in England and Wales (1146149) and in Scotland (SC039377). Company Number (07869142) Registered office: 15 Henrietta Street, London WC2E.
