On behalf of everyone at Age UK, we share our heartfelt condolences with Dame Esther Rantzen’s family and friends. Her dedication and commitment to older people is unrivalled, and her legacy will carry on through The Silver Line Helpline’s work.
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.
