Who we are

We are positive about old age and committed to reducing loneliness so that older people can have social lives and friendship groups however old they are. We inspire and enable meaningful connections and shared experiences within communities across the UK for people over 75 facing loneliness or social isolation. 

Our volunteers work together to create better communities and help to enrich the lives of our members.  Helping older people who may have felt very alone, to feel valued as individuals, to form friendships, and access to groups that provide support.  We make sure that people know they are important well into their old age.

By joining us, you'll contribute to combating the loneliness and social isolation felt by many older people.  You’ll also align with an organisation dedicated to challenging ageism and empowering volunteers.

Joining our team means making a tangible impact on the lives of older people while enjoying a supportive and inclusive work environment. Although we operate remotely, we encourage teamwork and wellbeing through many and varied interest groups and virtual networking and social activities.  We also offer periodic opportunities for regional groups of staff to meet face to face to discuss and feedback on specific operations issues. 

Our culture and values

We are proud of our values - positive, innovative, transparent, evidence-based, and accountable -  and of our ethos of bringing generations together.  

These guide our day-to-day work, alongside our commitment to harnessing technology.   

Our vision is a world where no one is ever too old to make friends and enjoy social interaction.

Our mission is to work within communities to end social isolation and loneliness in older people.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Diversity and inclusion are important to us.  We want our team of staff to be representative of all sections of society, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.  We understand that you may not meet every requirement listed, but if you feel you could make a valuable contribution to our charity, we encourage you to apply. You may be a great fit for this or another role.

We use the recruitment platform hireful which allows us to reduce unconscious bias and subjectivity, and candidates experience a more skills-based recruitment process which helps us to hire the best talent for our roles.
