Friends of the Elderly



Friends of the Elderly is an Irish charity that brings friendship and social opportunities to the elderly who live alone, especially those with mobility problems. Loneliness and isolation is a daily reality for many elderly people.

Friends of the Elderly has over 240 volunteers who visit the elderly in their homes. Our volunteer may be the only social caller they see for days. Help us to alleviate the pain of loneliness and isolation. Let them know you care, support Friends of the Elderly.
