Silver Line
As well as running the helpline, The Silver Line has 3,000 volunteer "Silver Line Friends" who make regular friendship calls with older people. It also offers Silver Circles (facilitated group calls for people who share a common interest). The Silver Line also makes a further 1,500 ‘keeping in touch’ calls every week to isolated older people. In November 2015, it launched Silver Line Connects to provide older people with more intensive support, advice, and help with connecting to local services.
