Community Christmas call companions offers lonely and isolated older people, those aged 75 and over, the opportunity to join a dedicated telephone befriending service throughout December.

Older people are matched with a trained volunteer call companion who has the skills to deal with the often more challenging conversations that can develop at this time of year, and as a result, help avert people falling into crisis. These weekly calls will connect older people to the outside world, bringing conversation and human contact back into their lives.

The service is free and available to anyone in the UK.
