Chatty Café Volunteer – CareLink

People’s horizons can shrink later in life due to health issues, losing friends, or a drop in confidence after retirement. We believe later life shouldn’t be a lonely life.

Through CareLink, our volunteers build trusted relationships with older people and help them stay healthy, independent, and connected — both through regular telephone befriending and friendly social groups known as Chatty Cafés.

How CareLink Supports Older People

• Regular telephone befriending calls at the same time each week
• A trusted point of contact when people don’t know where to turn
• Practical support and referrals to other services when needed
• Gentle reminders about medication, appointments, staying warm, and eating and drinking well
• Helping people identify local activities and offering initial support to attend
