Who we are: Re-engage is committed to older people being heard, valued and engaged.
Social isolation and loneliness are more than an emotional experience, they have huge mental and physical health implications. Older people living alone are significantly more likely to experience health problems, visit their GP or attend A&E.
As the ageing population continues to grow, so does the epidemic of loneliness among older people. We’re the only charity solely committed to tackling this problem by helping older people to re-engage with their communities through regular social contact, giving them a lifeline of friendship and, vitally, something to look forward to.
We are immensely grateful to AJW Distribution for choosing Re-engage as their charity of the year. The older people we work with are incredibly isolated and the regular contact provided by our services can be a lifeline. The support of AJW Distribution’s employees and customers will make a real difference. Thanks to their support, older people will have treasured opportunities to make new friends and, crucially, something to look forward to.
