Its services proved to be even more vital during the Covid pandemic at at time when fundraising became difficult .

Many older people would have undoubtedly struggled without them during the series of lockdowns.

The charity's core work since it was first established in 1982 is the befriending scheme where they recruit and support suitable volunteers who then visit older isolated people on a regular basis, providing companionship and support to the person to get out and about, help with a hobby or interest or just have a chat over a cup of tea.
