In the charity's own words
Silver Friends was born out of a passion to serve the older community, dedicated to providing support and companionship to lonely and isolated elderly citizens. No one should have to suffer loneliness and isolation, especially in their later years. With our exceptional volunteers we are able to offer face to face visits, outings and events. We provide transport. All services are free to access.
