Re-engage is dedicated to fighting loneliness in old age. We help people over 75 who are facing loneliness and social isolation to re-engage with their communities through regular social contact, giving them a lifeline of friendship and something to look forward to. We have also recently launched call companions; our telephone befriending service for thousands of vulnerable older people in the UK.

****Contact The Elderly (www.contact-the-elderly.org)

This is a really wonderful charity that I volunteer for. I am the co-ordinator for the Greenwich Contact The Elderly Group. Once a month the Greenwich volunteer Drivers and I take a group of people, aged 75 or over, to a tea party hosted by another volunteer. This really makes a huge difference to the lives of these people, many of whom could go for months without seeing anyone without Contact.

"I felt that I had come out of a dark tunnel into the light. Before I joined Contact, I thought that my life had ended - and now it's started again!" an elderly guest.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Contact The Elderly will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
