1 million older people
Around 1 million older people in the UK say they often or always feel lonely.
Silence
Loneliness doesn’t happen all at once.
It creeps in, when a partner passes, when friends drift away, when family move or grow distant. Suddenly, the days feel longer. The silence gets louder.
Sharedmoments
At MHA, we believe no one should grow old without someone to talk to.
Our befriending services match isolated older people with kind-hearted volunteers all year round. For weekly visits, shared stories and moments of true connection.
Because even one conversation can change everything.
A reason to smile.
A voice in the silence.
A reminder that they still matter.
