Re-engage provides vital, life-enhancing social connections for older people at a time in their lives when their social circles are diminishing.
Friendship: the perfect present for Peter
This Christmas, our heartwarming animation, inspired by the experiences shared with us by the older people we encounter, shines a light on the joy and companionship many find through joining Re-engage. Help us spread friendship and connection to those who need it most, this festive season and beyond. Watch now to see how your support can make a real difference and donate today to offer a lifeline of friendship to older people living with loneliness.
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.
