The Silver Line

Logo The Silver Line Helpline for Older People

The Silver Line Helpline, run by Age UK, is free service for people aged over 55 who would benefit from a friendly chat. We provide conversation 24 hours a day, especially for those who may be experiencing feelings of loneliness and isolation. Unfortunately, we do not offer any counselling or specialist mental health support via The Silver Line. Please also note that The Silver Line does not offer any kind of crisis or emergency service and callers who require this kind of support should contact either 999 or 111. You can contact The Silver Line using the details below:
