Reducing and managing isolation - Top tip - Day 19

Utilise befriending schemes

If you don’t have someone close to keep in touch with, there are plenty of charities that offer friendly, regular chats. For example, Re-engage www.reengage.org.uk has a call companions service for older people who live alone and would like a friendly phone call every week or so, and Age UK offers in-person and telephone befriending schemes. https://www.ageuk.org.uk/services/befriending-services

Loneliness is a natural human emotion. Talking about it helps reduce stigma and makes us feel more connected.

A huge shout out to the wonderful team at Marmalade Trust and their week-long campaign to raise awareness of loneliness and social isolation.

At The Chatty Café Scheme, this is a cause very close to our hearts. Every day, in venues across the UK, we see first-hand how something as simple as a conversation can brighten someone’s day, boost confidence, and help people feel connected again.

Loneliness can affect anyone, at any age, and no one should have to face it alone.

If you’re feeling lonely, isolated, or would simply like to meet new people for a chat, we’d love to welcome you to one of our Chatty Café venues. Use our venue finder to find a table near you, or send us a DM with your postcode and we’ll help you find your nearest location.

A conversation really can make a difference. 💛
