Silverline Age Uk
What is The Silver Line Helpline? The Silver Line Helpline run by Age UK is a free, 24-hour telephone service for older people across the UK.
They offer friendship, conversation, and support for people aged 55 or over, especially those who may be experiencing feelings of loneliness and isolation.
There are many different ways we might connect with each other.
Sometimes a quick “good morning!” might be all you need to get your day off to the right start. Another day, you might fancy a nice chat with someone about how the week’s gone. And once in a while, you may need a good heart-to-heart.
As we get older, these moments of connection can be harder to come by, but they’re just as vital as always.
That’s why Age UK's Silver Line Helpline exists – a free telephone service offering conversation, friendship and support to older people aged 55 and over.
Who does Age UK's Silver Line Helpline help?
Everyone, no matter who they are, needs someone to talk to and connect with sometimes.
The Silver Line Helpline is a free, confidential telephone service run by Age UK, providing friendship, conversation and support for older people. Lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We give older people the chance to pick up the phone and enjoy a chat, get some support, and feel all the wonderful benefits that come from talking to a friend.
How does The Silver Line help?
Loneliness can be tough, and many older people know this from experience. We need connection whatever our age – especially if we live alone or further away from family.
The Silver Line gives you the opportunity to exchange a brief, friendly word or enjoy a long, enriching conversation. The kind of call we offer depends very much on what you might want or need when you pick up the phone to talk to us.
The Silver Line service also helps by offering:
- information and support
- insight into how to access local groups and services
- a referral to regular friendship calls, a service also run by Age UK
- support for older people experiencing abuse and neglect.
