Omega

Omega is a charity based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, dedicated to reducing social isolation and loneliness. They became a partner as we had supported them for a number of years and were very familiar with the excellent work they do.  As a partner they recently benefited from a substantial endowment which will help them to keep offering the services they provide such as a free telephone befriending service known as ‘Chatterbox’ and a free pen pal befriending service, ‘Letterbox’. Our image shows some very happy recipients with their letters.

Although Omega was founded as a specialist end of life care charity in 2007 their work has gradually refocused over the years to reflect the needs of their clients, with the one thing that unites them all being the daily struggle with feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Omega now offers their services to anyone living in the UK aged 18 or over and their work is made possible and enhanced by an ever-growing team of wonderful volunteers.
