The Silver Line (Age UK's Silver Line Helpline)

If you are 55 or over, you can call for a friendly chat, some support, or a long conversation. It is especially there when you feel lonely or isolated.

We list this organization because it is a national service for the need on this page. We’re not affiliated with it, and we don’t speak for it. Last checked October 3, 2026: we opened its own site and confirmed this link and number. We don’t call the lines, and hours can change — their site has the latest.

Heavy moment? Call Samaritans on 116 123 — or we’re here.
