Re-Engage
As a response to the COVID – 19 crisis, Re-engage introduced a telephone befriending service, call companions. This is a free service for older people who may be socially isolated and lonely and would enjoy a regular friendly chat over the phone. Call Companions is aimed at people who are 75 and over, though each individual application is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
You are welcome to refer online (with a person's permission) or simply pass on the freephone number 0800 716 543.
