“Our callers say nights can be the worst times when they really need someone to talk to. We urgently need more donations to keep this night-time service going.”   said Dame Esther Rantzen

Two thirds of calls are made overnight or at weekends when there is no other helpline available for older people who may be lonely, isolated or confused.  But the increased number of callers means the helpline is costing even more to run, and without more public donations the vital night-time service may not be able to answer every one who needs us.

Please help us to raise the £1.42 milllion we urgently need to keep this ‘lifeline’ running every night and at weekends.
