Not everyone is lucky enough to have a chatterbox like me hanging around - chatting rubbish and having a laugh with your friends is one of the best medicines available. 

Unfortunately, most people will feel lonely at some point in their lives. It’s a deeply personal experience that - in most cases - will thankfully pass. Having someone to turn to for advice, or just to talk to and take your mind off things makes a huge difference - I think we can all agree there.

Sadly, 2.65 million older people feel they have no one to turn to for help and around 3.9  million older people consider TV to be their main form of company. Donating to this page will help Age UK to continue providing vital services that offer companionship, advice and support for older people facing later life alone.

Please be an absolute legend and give generously, it's a good cause.
