TED Hub Launch

Older people in East Lindsey are set to benefit from a new service to combat loneliness.

The T.E.D (Talk, Eat, Drink) Befriending & Friendship Hub is a one stop shop to access befriending  support and signposting to social activities available in the East Lindsey.

The Hub has been commissioned by the T.E.D Big Lottery funded project to help reduce isolation and loneliness among older people in the East Lindsey area. It’s estimated that 8.1% of people aged 65 and over are often lonely in this area.

Age UK Lindsey is leading the T.E.D Befriending & Friendship Hub working in partnership with other willing activity and befriending service providers.

Sue White, Service Manager for Information & Advice says: “This is an amazing opportunity we have with this new service to offer support to those needing someone to talk to.

“As a result of this we have been able to recruit two new Befrienders who will help to support volunteers and undertake the assessments for the T.E.D Hub, as well as link to other service providers and GP practices.”
