Who you're helping by taking part

Lesley

Your support allows us to be there for people like Lesley, who is part of our Telephone Friendship Service.

Lesley said “I was at a loss after losing my husband and friends had disappeared. I really didn’t know what to do with myself. Then I joined Age UK’s Telephone Friendship Service, and it really changed everything for me.

Now I have Karen, we talk about all sorts, and I couldn’t do without her. She makes me smile and I look forward to the phone ringing every week because I know I’ll get to laugh. Age UK have been a lifeline, and I can’t imagine not having Karen in my life."

Thanks to you, Age UK can provide life-changing services for older people like Lesley.
