Loneliness ends the same way it starts — with someone showing up. Here’s how you can be that someone.

Three ways in, one difference made

Whether you have an hour a week, a fundraising idea, or a business behind you, there's a place for you in this work. Filter by the kind of involvement that fits.

Become a Befriending Volunteer

"One hour a week from you might be the only hour of company someone gets."

Give regular time to a Thursday call, a fortnightly visit, or a walking group. We match you based on shared interests and train you for the visit that matters most — the first one.

Fundraiser

Run, bake, or organise for us

"Every fundraiser starts as one person deciding loneliness isn't inevitable."

From a sponsored walk to a bake sale at work, your fundraiser funds the visits, the groups, and the caseworkers that turn a quiet Thursday into a good one.

In their own words

"I thought I was giving up an hour a week. I got a friend I now plan my week around."

Aisha, Befriending Volunteer

"We baked 400 cupcakes for a stall that raised more in a Saturday than I expected in a month."

Priya, Community Fundraiser

"Our team volunteering day did more for morale than any offsite we've run."

Corporate Partner, local logistics firm
