Sadly, there is a loneliness epidemic in our communities, particularly among the elderly, where the most isolated in society feel that they are being left out. For nearly 30 years, the Link Visiting Scheme has been tackling loneliness and social isolation in older people. The charity matches volunteers with elderly people and runs projects that support cohesion and build friendships, such as their “link to nature” project. Last year, they were awarded charity of the year at the Great British business and community awards.
