How we do it

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

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.

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.
