About us
Who we are
Link Age Southwark is a vibrant local charity that provides friendly volunteer support to older people across the London Borough of Southwark. We reduce loneliness and isolation and help older people to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible. Our fantastic volunteers bring joy to people's lives and support people to maintain active lives within the wider community and to thrive in later life. Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organisation and, together with a small staff team, we have been making Southwark a better place for older people since 1993.
Last year, we had over 400 dedicated volunteers and supported more than 650 older people with an average age of 83.
