The Silver Line Helpline run by Age UK is a free, confidential telephone service for older people. We provide friendship, conversation and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We need connection whatever our age – especially if we live alone or further away from family. Age UK's Silver Line Helpline gives anyone aged 55 or over the opportunity to exchange a friendly word, access support, or enjoy a long enriching conversation.
I used The Silver Line every night for about three weeks, and it really kept me going. They’re lovely, I’ve not spoken to anybody that I haven’t felt has been listening or engaging. I can put my hand on my heart and say I don’t think I’d be here without them.
Whenever feelings of isolation, worry, or loneliness strike, you can always call The Silver Line Helpline for free at anytime on 0800 4 70 80 90.
For an isolated older person who might live far away from family or friends, being able to talk to someone who cares is invaluable.
Become a part of The Silver Line story and support older people by offering them friendship, conversation and connection.
Age UK’s Silver Line Helpline is the UK's only free, confidential, 24-hour helpline providing friendship for older people.
