Half a million
older people spend every day alone, figures have revealed. The research shows 500,000 over the age of 60
usually go at least five or six days a week without seeing or speaking to
anyone at all, according to Age UK.
The Edith Ellen
Foundation supports Older People both in their own homes and in care homes
across our region.
We don’t want to
see another older person facing loneliness, we offer a comprehensive free to
access befriending service. Our
Volunteer Befrienders talk with the person they are working with to discover people's
life circumstances, interests and ambitions as well as the kind of support that
might help them to feel less lonely.
Our befrienders
help source social groups and even attend to ensure that at no point our
elderly feel “abandoned”.
We offer this
service free, to ensure social inclusion, to help support us and provide
support to our elderly please donate using our donate button or the following
