We know these past few weeks have been tough for everyone. But, the truth is, living through lockdown when you’re on your own can feel unbearably lonely at times. After all, doesn't everyone need someone to chat to?

With 2.2m older people live alone in the UK and over 1m suffering from chronic isolation, the loneliness epidemic is on the rise. This is why we’ve launched call companions – a free service for older people who live alone and feel they could do with a friendly phone call every week or two.

What’s great is that the same person calls every time so, gradually, you get to know one another. Whatever you chat about, it helps lifts your spirits. Makes you feel whole again and more connected to the world.
