Re-engage

Charity registered in Scotland SC039377

Re-engage is committed to older people being heard, valued and engaged. As we get older, our social circles diminish, and we find ourselves with fewer and fewer people to turn to. Imagine realising one day that all your friends and family have gone from your life. Loneliness can be cruel, and it affects millions of people over 75 who live in social isolation.

Re-engage is making life less lonely for thousands of older people every year. Our vision is a world where no one is ever too old to make friends and enjoy social interaction. Our mission is to work within communities to end social isolation and loneliness in older people.
