HOW YOU CAN HELP US
Donate to help support monthly meet ups
Bringing people together regularly is vital in combating loneliness and isolation. By fostering connections and building strong support networks, we can create a more inclusive and empathetic society. ​Many of our users are housebound but some aren't. What we would love to be able to do is have a once a month get together. People can make new friends and see old ones. Chat over tea and coffee, become more active mentally, maybe enjoy a game and a singalong.​The things that we take for granted when we are younger often fall away when a person's spouse passes, family move away and old friends pass away.​
​
We can't stop life from moving on but we can still help others feel part of a community and feel loved.​

OUR BIG GOAL THIS YEAR IS TO RAISE £50,000
For £300 a year, or £25 a month, your donation prevents an older person from being lonely & isolated
For £25 a month, an older person who is otherwise lonely and isolated, and living in Chesterfield, Bolsover or NE Derbyshire, can receive a 25 minute telephone call, every week, from one of our trained volunteers, removing them from loneliness and isolation.
