Friends of the Elderly Ireland is a volunteer-based charity that has been dedicated to bringing friendship and companionship to older people living alone or feeling lonely since its establishment in 1980. With the aim of improving the lives of older members, they provide emotional and social support, enabling them to maintain independence and feel connected to a larger community. Through a team of dedicated volunteers and a small staff, Friends of the Elderly Ireland reaches out to older neighbors in various ways.

Their practical approach to addressing loneliness and social isolation includes social engagement programs such as Home Visitation, Friendly Call Service, Social Club, and organizing Day Trips or Social Events. With the help of over 150 volunteers, they have had the privilege of touching the lives of up to 500 older women and men in the past year. It is important to note that Friends of the Elderly Ireland does not receive any government funding and relies solely on funds raised from individual and corporate donors.
