Voluntary Action Reigate & Banstead
Help reduce loneliness among older people
A third of Surrey residents aged 65+ (almost 76,000 older people in the county) live alone*.
Many of these people face isolation because they cannot connect with the community.
Older people are at higher risk of social isolation and loneliness due to changes in health and social connections, hearing, vision, memory loss, disability, trouble getting around, and/or the loss of family and friends.
Losing a sense of connection and community can have a profound effect on someone’s mental and physical health.
