Age Connects Cardiff and the Vale offers a lifeline to vulnerable older members of our local communities who may be facing loneliness and isolation with little or no family support.The impact of isolation, loneliness, and poverty can have a devastating effect on health and wellbeing. Far too many older people know just how this feels. Last year alone Age Connects supported over 6,000 people.Our support services include offering benefits checks, toenail cutting, befriending support, help with daily tasks such as shopping and handling correspondence and much needed companionship.
