Silver Line is a national, free, confidential helpline providing information, friendship and advice to older people, aged 55+. It is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Their aim is to reduce loneliness and improve the lives of older people.
The helpline is run by trained volunteers and they can offer:
- information and support
- insight into how to access local groups and services
