For many older people in Scotland, a simple phone call can mean the difference between feeling alone — and feeling heard.

As a health professional, I’ve worked closely with older people and seen firsthand how loneliness, worry, and lack of support can affect their wellbeing. I’ve met individuals who don’t just need medical care, they need someone to listen, to reassure them, to remind them they matter.

That’s why this helpline is so important.

Every call offers kindness, understanding, and real human connection, often at the exact moment someone needs it most.

But we can’t be there without your help.

Your donation helps us answer more calls and reach more people who are struggling in silence, because no one should feel forgotten as they grow older.

Please donate today and help us be there when it matters most, thank you.
