Finding friends

Finding friends

When you get older, you may find that your friends and family become fewer or that you see them more infrequently. This can be for many reasons, such as bereavement, ill health, disability or simply due to people moving away from the area that you live in. It may be that you are living alone for the first time in many years if your partner has passed away, or your relationship has ended for other reasons, such as divorce.

Loneliness and isolation can be a huge problem for older people and it can have a detrimental effect on your health and wellbeing. In this section we have provided information about the ways in which you can meet new people and make friends.
