Our Charity Work

I’d like to say a huge thank you to Sarah Austin for supporting and championing the wellbeing of our people and, through the Really Helpful Club, introducing us to Alex James, to create NSPCC inMind. We now have a brilliant resource, supporting the wellbeing of our people during the current situation and beyond. It will also help us to introduce mindfulness more widely, bringing benefits to our workforce and through us, the families and children we support.

I am delighted to be joining the Really Helpful Club at this unique event. It’s vital that we get the conversation going about the challenges facing older people and the need to plan now across the generations. We must not be afraid to talk about the issues and to tackle them in a positive and constructive way, so that we can live our lives to the full. As the founder of The Silver Line Helpline, I am particularly focused on loneliness and how it has grown to become an epidemic, particularly among older people. There are small things that we can do in our daily lives which can really make a difference. I’m so pleased that The Silver Line is providing friendship and helping hundreds of isolated and vulnerable older people every single day.
