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.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Qualia Care are becoming Yorkshire Warriors to help raise money for Contact the Elderly as this is the only national charity solely dedicated to tackling loneliness and social isolation.

Supported by volunteers, the charity organises monthly afternoon tea parties for small groups of elderly people over the age of 75, who live alone.  This offers a regular and vital friendship link each month.

Increasingly, research highlights the link between loneliness and ill-health in later life, including depression, certain heart conditions and even Alzheimer's disease.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
