Welcome to Happy at Home

We recruit volunteers who make regular visits (usually weekly) to lonely isolated people.

Would you like to visit and befriend a lonely older person in your neighbourhood?

We are looking for people who have time to pop in and have chat with a lonely person and, where possible occasionally accompany them to a social event.

Happy at Home supports the elderly and lonely in South Tyneside.

• We recruit volunteers who make regular visits (usually weekly) to lonely isolated people.

• We spend our time having a chat, listening to music, sharing a past time or just reminiscing.

• We have two events each per year (at Christmas and Summer) to which befrienders and the people that they visit are invited.

Here's what some of our befriendees are saying about the Happy at Home Project.

  We enjoy a good hour together, chewing the fat, - the time flies by when she is here and I really look forward to her visits. 

  Apart from a shopping service once a week, Mary is the only person I see from one week to the next, she has become my link with the outside world. 

  Nicholla is a real friend – she has become part of my family. 

If this is something you might be interested in and would like to find out more, please call Margaret on 0191 529 2122 or email info@happyathomesouthtyneside.co.uk.
