Support us
Your kindness can ease loneliness, bring comfort, and help someone feel like themselves again. This is the future we’re building together.
The Second Cup
Loneliness affects around one million older people in the UK, often hidden behind quiet, everyday routines.
Our Second Cup appeal highlights how a simple moment of connection, like sharing a cup of tea, can make a real difference.
Help us end loneliness
No one should grow old without someone to talk to. Our befriending volunteers bring conversation, comfort and connection to isolated older people.
When you see the difference MHA makes to older people’s lives, you realise every pound raised really does matter.
