CarelinK aims to reduce the feelings of loneliness and isolation that are often experienced by older people living alone.

CarelinK recruits, vets and trains volunteers and matches them up with individual older people in the local community who are lonely and isolated. Volunteers visit an older person for an hour or two each week, offering conversation and social support . Where appropriate, we help individuals to access other services and activities at further reducing isolation and improving their quality of life.
