LGBTI+ Telefriending Service

Due to the discrimination and stigma that older LGBTI+ people have faced in their lifetime, many experience considerable social isolation and loneliness as they age.  A new Telefriending Service offers a once-a-week telephone call by a friendly volunteer, who is trained and Garda vetted.  Telefriending provides friendship, security and support to alleviate loneliness, isolation and improve overall mental health and wellbeing.  It is also a great opportunity for members to talk regularly with other people who also identify as members of the LGBTI+ community.  Find out more at: https://lgbt.ie/telefriending
