Loneliness Awareness Week 💛
Many older people experience loneliness, especially after retirement, bereavement, or changes in health and mobility. Age UK Richmond helps local older people stay connected through our Wellbeing Services, our three social and wellbeing centres, community activities, coffee mornings, events, telephone friendship service, and support to help people join local groups and activities with confidence. These services help build friendships, reduce isolation, and strengthen community connections.

Why not start a simple conversation with someone today and remind them they're not alone? We're here to help.

We are hugely grateful for their dedication, compassion and commitment. Thank you for all that you do!
