Merton Befriending Service is a joint service between Age UK Merton and The Wimbledon Guild, working together to deliver a high quality befriending service for isolated older people. Age UK Merton is leading on this Service. 

We offer a free face to face and a telephone befriending service. Emphasis is on reducing social isolation, empowerment and promoting independence. This is done by providing emotional support and/or enabling people to be re-integrated back into their local community.
