  • Re-Engage

    Re-engage is a national charity (previously known as Contact the Elderly) committed to bringing older people together into social groups at a time in their lives when their social circles are diminishing.
    As the ageing population continues to grow, so does the epidemic of loneliness among older people. Social isolation and loneliness can have mental and physical health implications. Re-engage is committed to tackling this problem by helping older people to re-engage with their communities through regular face-to-face contact.
