Re-engage provides vital, life-enhancing social connections for older people at a time in their lives when their social circles are diminishing.
Give the gift of friendship this Christmas
Loneliness is miserable at any time of year. But knowing that you won’t see anyone on Christmas Day, when many others are enjoying time together with loved ones, can be particularly difficult. Donate today and let an older person know they’re not forgotten.
Helping to prevent scams and fraud
Talking about scams, although difficult, is a powerful way to raise awareness and reduce stigma. Try our free training. Spread the word. And take a stand against scams.
My wife died… I was grieving and vulnerable. I needed company so when this woman said hello on Facebook I responded. I have never reported it because I feel such an old fool. The fraud cost me £15k of my savings.
