Link Age Southwark

Link Age Southwark

Link Age Southwark is a vibrant local charity providing friendly volunteer support to over 500 isolated, older people in Southwark. 

Could you volunteer in your local area to make an older person’s day? Just an hour of your time can make a big difference to a lonely or isolated older person.

You can help out by:

  • Visiting an older person in their home for a chat 
  • Helping to run one of our activity groups
  • Giving an older person a lift to an activity group or appointment
  • Helping an older person with light gardening or household odd jobs


You could help an older person like May, 98, who attends our volunteer-led social groups. She says, “I was bored and lonely before I learned of Link Age Southwark. I’m very grateful to their volunteers for bringing joy to my life.


We are working to make Southwark a more inclusive and age-friendly borough and would love volunteers in Camberwell to be part of this. Volunteering with us is very rewarding – you will enjoy new experiences, meet new people in your local community and have the satisfaction of supporting older people to live happy, fulfilled lives.

To volunteer, please email info@linkagesouthwark.org or call 020 8299 2623.

Please see our website http://linkagesouthwark.org/ for more information.
