When do life’s moments become moments that matter?

Last week, MHA launched our Share a Memory appeal to raise funds for our Befriending Service.

Last year, our amazing befrienders made over 9,000 calls to older people, bringing conversation, laughter and comfort to those who might otherwise face long days alone. This appeal will help us keep those vital connections alive and reach even more people.

Let’s tackle loneliness together. Learn more: https://bit.ly/44oe7pR.

The power of communication is something we all know.

Something as simple as a half hour conversation can make all the difference and by working together, we can combat loneliness by continuing the vital work of our incredible national befriending service.

With your help, we can change this and ensure every older person feels seen, heard and supported, thanks to our befriending volunteers.
