Time To Talk Befriending - Overcoming loneliness together through befriending across Brighton and Hove, Adur and Worthing.

A charity in the heart of the community.

We offer a range of joy-filled one to one and group befriending services, intergenerational projects, seasonal events, chaplaincy and signposting services for older people experiencing loneliness.

We support people across Brighton and Hove, Adur and Worthing through our fantastic community volunteers.

Become a befriender and help overcome loneliness!

Just a small amount of your time will enhance the wellbeing of all involved and you'll play an important role in reducing loneliness.

Be part of a community of people who believe in the importance of human connection.

Your donations will fund life-changing friendships.

We are a small charity with a big heart! Since 2013 the charity has helped hundreds of older people to ‘feel like I am in the world again’, but we can't do it alone!

Your financial donations are gratefully received and will change the lives of our elders.

To me, Befriending (by phone) means giving someone a virtual hug to let them know that I am there for them and which I hope brightens up their day.

"Always good to get your own life into perspective and be thankful for what you've got. Enriches the general tapestry of life."

"The good feelings I get from doing something good. Know my scheme member needs my company as she does not see anyone else, that fulfils me."

Your donations and support helps to change lives and overcome loneliness

Could you support us financially? In doing so you will enable us to positively connect with older people who feel ‘invisible’, ‘forgotten’, and ‘alone’.

Regular monthly or one off donations make a significant difference to our Charity.

We need the generous support of our community, both big and small to improve the lives of society's most lonely, isolated and vulnerable older people.
