Friends of the Elderly

Friends of the Elderly is an Irish charity that works to alleviate loneliness and isolation amongst older people who live alone or feel alone. We believe in supporting people to remain independent and to live at home for as long as possible. We think that providing the essentials in life is necessary, but even more important is the loving support of friends.

Friends of the Elderly has over 500 volunteers who visit older people at home and in hospital and who support activities and outings for older people. 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.
