Whether or not you are one for resolutions, the New Year can be a great time to think about trying something a bit different. So why not consider volunteering for The Age UK Telephone Friendship Service?
The service matches volunteers with an older person who would love someone to chat to. It involves a 30-minute call made at the same time and day each week – a call you can make from wherever suits you.
Its a great way you can help one of the 1.2 million older people who often feel lonely. The person you call might not have any other conversations during the week – so it can be something they really look forward to, as well as providing an opportunity for you both to get to know someone new.
