Elderly & Carers Support

Friendship, support and guidance

While Age UK’s Silver Line services have evolved over the years, our mission has remained the same – to support, connect with, and uplift older people.

Specifically, The Silver Line aims to:

• Offer friendship, conversation and connection to the older people who call us and easing feelings of loneliness and social or physical isolation in the process.
• Provide a 24-hour helpline for older people who are seeking practical information or guidance on issues that are affecting them.
• Empower older people experiencing neglect or abuse to access the right protection and, if appropriate, connect them with specialist services who can help.
• From the moment The Silver Line Helpline was established, it was essential that we be ready to pick up the phone to the people who need us at any hour of the day and night.

Over half of the calls that we receive are made overnight or at weekends, when few other telephone services or helplines are open for the people who need friendship, support or help.
