How we do it

Chronic loneliness affects 1.4 million ageing adults in the UK. Here is how we are fighting to end this.

How we do it

What we do

We fundraise to end loneliness and isolation in ageing adults. As well as impacting on mental health, loneliness can increase the risk of dementia, cardiovascular disease, and other age-related illnesses. Home Instead Charities are proud to fund activities such as music therapy, art therapy and peer support groups to ensure ageing adults are happy and healthy.

Our services

In 2021, Home Instead Charities funded activities for over 20,000 ageing adults. We helped them stay connected to their communities throughout lockdowns and helped to rebuild their confidence and support networks when restrictions eased.

Tech Café Testimonial - Lewes

Fear of being scammed and lack of digital confidence are just 2 reasons why so many older adults are reluctant users of tech. At HI Charities tech cafes, our trained volunteers combine technology with traditional activities, such as music, crafts and quizzes. This approach allows older adults to steadily build tech skills around activities they already excel in.
