Re-engage is a national charity dedicated to tackling loneliness and social isolation among older people. They connect older (75+), lonely people with local volunteers who want to make their lives a bit better. They do this by establishing groups that gather once a month on a Sunday (although there are currently no groups in Sheffield) and through regular phone calls for companionship.
