Check in on someone who might be feeling lonely

No occasion needed. Ring them or drop round for a chat.

10-30 minutes

Why This Matters

Many people, older people especially, go days without a real conversation. A call or a visit breaks that quiet in a meaningful way.

Just for a chat

Who came to mind just now? A grandparent, a relative or friend who lives alone, an elderly neighbour, or a friend who’s gone quiet lately. Give them a bit of your day, on the phone or in person, and let the conversation go wherever it goes.

How to do this

  1. Pick whoever came to mind first.
  2. Ring them, or knock if they’re close by.
  3. Not a good time? Schedule one when neither’s rushed.
  4. Ask how they’re going and take it from there. Done.
