Age Scotland is the national charity for older people. We work to improve the lives of everyone over the age of 50 so that they can love later life. Sadly, 200,000 older people in Scotland can go at least half a week without speaking to anyone. But we are here to help. With our free friendship line, we are here to listen, provide friendship, information and advice. Because words matter, they wrap us in reassurance and help us stay connected.
