Christmas Wishes
Christmas is a time filled with feeling of togetherness and cheer but for many older people, those feelings are replaced with ones of loneliness and isolation.
No more silent nights
Across Great Britain over one million older people experience loneliness on a daily basis. This has a devastating effect on their lives and is particularly difficult at Christmas when surrounded by talk of community and family.
Will you bring comfort and friendship to those facing loneliness this Christmas?
Support our Christmas appeal and help make a meaningful difference in the lives of older people through our national befriending service.
How to get involved
Get into the festive spirit with ways to support our community this Christmas. Whether it's sending a heartfelt card through our Christmas Friendship Appeal, dedicating a decoration on our Tree of Remembrance, or making a donation, there are many ways to get involved and make a meaningful difference.
Join us in spreading joy and companionship to older people this Christmas, helping them feel connected and valued when it matters most.
Send a Christmas card to an older person
Join our Christmas Friendship Appeal and help tackle loneliness and isolation by sending a heartfelt Christmas card to an older person. Make a difference this by sharing the joy of Christmas with those who need it most.
Make a gift
Everybody deserves to live later life well. Your generous donations make this possible by creating meaningful experiences and supportive environments, positively impacting the way people live in their later years.
A £10 donation would set up a referral to our Befriending service and make the first call that matters.
Tree of Remembrance
Our Tree of Remembrance is a special way to honour loved ones you have lost. By dedicating a virtual decoration to their memory, you can celebrate their life while helping people to live the best later life they can.
