About this service
The Silver Line is the only free confidential helpline providing information, friendship and advice to older people, open 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
We provides three functions to support older people:
- a sign-posting service to link them into the many, varied services that exist around the country
- a befriending service to combat loneliness
- a means of empowering those who may be suffering abuse and neglect, if appropriate to transfer them to specialist services to protect them from harm
