Age UK Solihull’s Linking People Together service supports older people to maintain social interaction and remain vital members of their local communities.
The service, which we tailor to meet each person's specific needs, is divided into four core elements:
- Home-based befriending
- Telephone befriending
- Practical advice and support
- Community-based social activities.
Befriending update January 2026
Please note: unfortunately we are unable to accept any referrals for befriending at present due to the size of our current waiting list.
Please check back mid February for an update, and in the interim the following organisations and clubs may be useful.
