Help a neighbour feel less alone
When getting out becomes harder, it can be easy to lose touch with people. A regular phone call, a lift to an appointment or a group to look forward to can make a difference to someone’s week.
In our recent survey, 57% of respondents said they had met new people and 73% said they felt happier or more positive. Your donation helps us keep these opportunities available to older neighbours in Hampton and Hampton Hill.
Your donation helps us keep this everyday support available to older neighbours in Hampton and Hampton Hill.
What support looks like in everyday life
A friendly voice. A regular befriending call gives someone who spends much of the week alone a chance to talk and catch up.
A lift when it matters. Volunteer drivers help older neighbours get to appointments when making the journey on their own is difficult.
Something to look forward to. Social groups and small outings give people time to catch up with familiar faces and get to know someone new.
Your donation helps us organise these services and support the volunteers who make them possible.

Our Work in Action
A small lunch outing in Richmond
With help from a volunteer, three neighbours went to Chez Lindsay for lunch. One guest said it gave her a chance to chat with people she didn’t usually speak to.
Craft and company at Whiteley Village
Our quarterly visits to Silver Get Together give neighbours a chance to make something, share lunch and get to know others in a relaxed setting.
Around the table at Surplus to Supper
We take a small group to Sunbury Cricket Club to share a meal at Surplus to Supper, a local charity that puts surplus food to good use.
