Re-engage Rainbow call companions

Rainbow call companions is a free telephone befriending service for LGBT+ people who are lonely, isolated or in need of companionship. This is a service specifically for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender plus (LGBT+) people aged 75 and above who would like to speak to someone who’s also LGBT+.

Calls last for half an hour or so and you can chat about anything that interests you. What's great is that the same volunteer phones you every time, so you can get to know each other and share stories and laughter – for as long as you both want.

You can access the service via self-referral, referral by a friend, family member or Re-engage volunteer, or professional referral.
