Organisation Type:
Charitable Incorporated Organisation
Governing Document:
Linking Lives UK Constitution
Recruitment and selection of trustees:
New trustees are selected by the existing board of trustees in accordance with necessary skills, experience, shared vision and values of the charity.
3. Objectives and activities
Linking Lives UK is a national charity working to reduce loneliness and social isolation amongst older people. We achieve this through the development of befriending schemes and
3
social events and activities which are set up in partnership with local churches and other agencies.
The trustees have established this CIO as a practical means of showing the love of God in accordance with their Christian beliefs, in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the world.
The objects of the CIO are:
-
The promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit among persons who are excluded from society because they are house-bound for any reason, but in particular those who are elderly or in poor health and assisting them to integrate into society.
-
The advancement of the Christian faith.
4. Public Benefit
Our objectives and activities are outlined above. All activities focus on combating social isolation and loneliness among older people across the UK. This is achieved primarily through the establishment of befriending schemes in various parts of the country ranging from rural areas to inner city urban areas. These local schemes focus on arranging for volunteers to visit older people in their own homes once a week and – beginning this year – telephone befriending is another core element. In addition, volunteers are encouraged, where possible, to arrange visits to suitable local social events and activities or outings to places of interest.
As a result of these local interactions, the primary public benefit for our clients is increased self-esteem and confidence as well as stronger community links. Volunteers benefit from learning about the life of past generations as well as building strong relationships with their allocated client. Also, there is a benefit for the wider community as people from various generations engage more effectively and those previously on the margins of society begin to re-engage with those around them.
Through all our work, we also aim to value the diverse and rich experiences of older people and to celebrate their gifts and abilities in communities across the UK.
5. Background
This report reflects the period from 1[st] April 2021 to 31[st] March 2022. Linking Lives UK exists to enable churches and Christian organisations to find ways of supporting older people experiencing loneliness and social isolation in their communities. This is achieved by helping to set up telephone and home visiting befriending schemes; training volunteers in roles which address loneliness and through regular webinars on the subject.
6. Trustee & operational team
We are grateful to our board of trustees (see page 3) who have served during this period. The trustees meet on a quarterly basis and focus on the continued development of our governance structure, medium to long-term strategy and financial well-being.

We are also grateful to our central operational team which included Jeremy Sharpe (National Director), Angela Caley (Partnerships & Support Services Manager), Chris Driver (Finance/ IT), Charlotte Munro (Trusts & Grants Fundraiser until June 2021), David de la Haye (Training & Resources Manager), Carol Hebden (Regional Development Officer – West Midlands), Richard Taylor (Regional Development Officer – Devon), Tessa Trace (Trusts & Foundations Manager from July 2021), Hannah McLoughlin (Social Media Coordinator) and Julie Marshall (Prayer Coordinator). It has been exciting to see our core team growing and adapting during this year as we have worked hard to respond to circumstances around us.
7. National Director’s Report
During this year we have become increasingly aware of a sense of fatigue being felt by many individuals, volunteers and leaders in the wake of the pandemic and lockdown. This has resulted in lower than expected engagement with partners wishing to establish a befriending scheme and – as with other charities – greater challenges in relation to fundraising. Despite these challenging circumstances, we have continued to develop new initiatives which address loneliness and social isolation as well as improving our existing processes. Please see our Impact Report for a more detailed summary of our achievements this year:
Befriending
We have carried out a full review of our befriending scheme on-boarding and support processes leading to well-designed template documents, forms and publicity. Feedback from local coordinators has been very positive. We also launched Two’s Company Befriending as our primary model for all future befriending scheme partnerships. This now includes three distinct operating models:
-
Home visiting
-
Telephone Befriending
-
Hybrid – Mix of home visiting and telephone befriending
We created the opportunity, as part of this process, for previous telephone befriending schemes to receive training in home visiting and this enabled them to convert their scheme to a ‘hybrid’ approach. We also launched our Affiliation initiative in which existing befriending schemes have the opportunity to become affilated with Linking Lives and make use of
The final element of our Two’s Company improvements was the creation of a modular training package for all new befriendeing partner organisations. This is is made up of:
Module 1 – Introduction & overview of the coordinator role Module 2 – Setting up a befriending scheme Module 3 – Volunteer training Module 4 – Matching, signposting and monitoring
Conference and Webinars
Our annual conference entitled ‘Streams in the Desert’, held online between 13[th] and 17[th] September 2021, was attended by 87 people. We were pleased to welcome the Loneliness

Minister at the time – Baroness Diana Barran and Executive Director of Redeeming Our Communities - Debra Green OBE as our keynote speakers. Other workshops held during the week included ‘Encouraging community re-engagement’; ‘Overcoming anxiety’; ‘Supporting those who have been bereaved’; ‘Using Music in befriending’ and ‘Intergenerational befriending’. Feedback was very positive and we were grateful to all speakers and workshop facilitators for their support.
We also began running regular webinars focusing on effective individual responses to loneliness which have proved to be a popular resource since their launch.
Partnerships
We were excited to commence a three-year partnership with Edinburgh City Mission to establish a Two’s Company Befriending in Edinburgh. This project aims to build links with churches in the city to enable an effective response to loneliness through regular visits and telephone calls.
Strategic Plan/ Next Steps
During the next year, we plan to build on the progress made this year in the following ways:
-
Befriending Schemes - We aim to continue encouraging the growth of befriending schemes across the UK in areas where they are most needed, and where we have suitable local partnerships.
-
Strategically develop our work into Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland – We will be looking to raise funds and build partnerships to enable our models of operation to grow from grassroots level by appointing National Development Managers in each country.
-
Chaplaincy roles – We plan to arrange for volunteers wishing to carry out roles more focused on spiritual development, to receive appropriate training, guidance and support on a local level.
-
Profile-raising – We will raise awareness of our work through local presentations; webinars; regional events with potential partners and conferences
8. Chair of Trustee’s Report
In spite of the continued impact of COVID we have managed to continue to grow and develop the work of Linking Lives, and that is testimony to the excellent leadership of our National Director and the team he has pulled together. We are so grateful for the dedication and skills of all those involved, and the growing number of projects at local level. The plans for the future are exciting, with expansion across the 4 nations of the UK enabled by some dedicated funding and strategic partnerships. We look forward to seeing these bear fruit in the coming years.
Alan Magness – Chair of Trustees

9. Patron’s report
What a privilege it is to serve as patron of Linking Lives! During 2022 I became more aware than ever before of the way in which loneliness and isolation are reaching alarming levels in our culture (not helped by the COVID pandemic).
I also witnessed some of the amazing work being done by Linking Lives volunteers including those in Cockermouth and Keswick (which is where I live). This work is steadily growing :- for instance the Cockermouth Team had 13 referrals in November, when they would normally expect about 4. What’s more, it has really positive implications for people’s physical as well as their mental health. Experts now say that loneliness and isolation constitute a public health problem on a par with smoking and obesity. So this comes not only with my very best wishes for the New Year - but also with my heartfelt gratitude for such a prophetic and significant ministry.
James Newcome (Bishop of Carlisle and Lead Bishop for Health and Social Care)
10. Financial Review
The principle sources of funding are from grant making trusts and we are very grateful to trusts and grant making bodies that have supported us throughout the year which has enabled this work to continue to develop and expand by collectively investing £131,901 (£35,700 of which was restricted funds) into our work.
We received the third instalment of a three-year grant received from The Earl of Northampton’s Charity. This gave us the opportunity to continue developing our befriending services in different ways whilst ensuring that the Norfolk area (for which much of the original grant was focused) was able to benefit from the ongoing work. We are also grateful to other organisations (among others) listed below for their support during this year. Also, fees are received from churches that are setting up or have set up befriending schemes and the total income derived from these sources was £5,300.
Our expenditure was £135,803 and a detailed breakdown of this figure is provided below. We recorded a total surplus for the year of £5,524 leaving our year-end balance in line with our Reserves Policy. The trustees are confident that the charity continues to operate as a going concern.
Reserves Policy
The trustees’ policy is to retain sufficient funds to cover the notice periods of all members of our core operations team. The value of the reserves will be re-assessed at least annually, or when significant changes in financial obligations occur.
7
Investment Policy
The charity does not hold investments.
Risk Statement
A Risk Register is reviewed and amended where necessary at each trustee’s meeting. This covers aspects of the charity’s operation including governance, external risks, regulation and compliance, finance, and operations. Our current identified top five risks are below, along with the respective controls put in place to mitigate these risks:
-
Inadequate funding to achieve business plan aims – Pipeline of funding applications ongoing and income stream from local project fees.
-
Inadequate reserves – Active financial monitoring and forecasting of cash position
-
Loss of key operational team members – Contracts established with appropriate notice periods to ensure suitable transference of responsibilities
-
Local partner submits complaint about Linking Lives UK – Annual reviews and informal contact maintained on a regular basis
-
Inadequate financial controls leading to poor use of resources and/or fraud - Key financial monitoring & banking controls in place

ABOUT LINKING LIVES UK
Linking Lives UK is a national Christian charity set up to address social isolation and loneliness particularly among older people.
Using a tried and tested approach, we build partnerships with churches and Christian organisations to enable befriending schemes to be established in local communities.
By the end of March 2022, there were 61 schemes making regular home visits, telephone calls or both to around 770 people experiencing loneliness across England, Scotland and Wales with our first affiliate partnership beginning in Northern Ireland. (See ‘National Reach’ for further details of locations).
Our Model
Based on a successful model established over 20 years ago, we engage with potential delivery partners to provide them with a blueprint to research, develop, launch and sustain a befriending scheme in their local area. This enables new projects to be up and running quickly, professionally, and safely at minimal cost. It also provides partners with the training their staff and volunteers need and ongoing support when required.
Awareness Generation
Alongside helping to set up befriending schemes, we engage with churches, Christian organisations, and individual Christians to make them more aware of loneliness and isolation, the impact it has and the challenges it presents for those affected. We run webinars and an annual conference which brings people together to discuss and learn how they can become part of the solution to the loneliness epidemic in the UK.
WELCOME
Thank you for reading Linking Lives UK's Annual Impact Report for 20212022.
We are privileged to be continuing to reach and serve the many older people across the UK impacted by our work, both directly and indirectly. Last year we outlined the way in which we responded quickly and effectively to the huge challenges which all of us faced as a result of Covid-19 and various degrees of lockdown.
This year has been a further year of challenges for many organisations adjusting to ‘life after lockdown’ and assessing their priorities and resources available in coming months and years. We have consistently come across a sense of ‘project fatigue’ leading, at times, to a hesitancy in setting up new initiatives.
At the same time, new and existing community projects which had recruited volunteers and secured funds during the pandemic have often since lost these volunteers and funding. We have therefore been responding to these circumstances as far as we can to ensure that our work is both effective and relevant on a local level.
We are always encouraged, however, by the determination and heart of many individuals and organisations to explore ways of making a difference in the lives of those around them. This is displayed in the generosity of time and resources required to develop new initiatives which impact the lives of older people and this then inspires others to play their part as well.
We have also valued the partnerships that have developed during this year. Our approach has always been to explore options to work together where this adds value, and this has proved to be an effective strategy in many ways.
We continue to participate in the coalition, Christians Together Against Loneliness and this has provided a valuable opportunity to share ideas and information with other similar charities. We also engage with various regional 'Together Network' bodies and collaboration with their many 'Places of Welcome' groups represents a powerful synergy with much of our work. We also very much appreciate the ongoing partnerships in place across the country with churches and other organisations running befriending schemes within their communities.
As we move forwards, we will continue to adapt our approach to ensure that our work is having a positive impact on the lives of those experiencing loneliness on a day to day basis. This will include continuing to work with other organisations where helpful, as well as continuing to ensure that every effort is made to improve standards and experiences on a local level.
If you would like to discuss any element of this report in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact us.

LONELINESS AFTER COVID
In April 2020, 5% of the adult population reported that they often or always felt lonely (similar to prelockdown levels). In the period of Sept-Nov 2021, 3.7 million people (7.2%) continued to say that they were chronically lonely & felt lonely often or always.
It is therefore clear that levels of loneliness continue to be higher than before Covid-19. Further studies have also found that, within this, more women than men (56% compared to 43%) are likely to report feeling lonely.
The groups most likely to experience loneliness have been the under 25's and over 65's; those going through transitions such as relationship breakdown, bereavement or
moving to a new house; those already disadvantaged. This is highlighted in the report ‘Loneliness Beyond Covid’ (Campaign to End Loneliness July 2021) which explains that ‘There are strong links between loneliness and other drivers of exclusion including poverty, poor mental or physical health, disability, and being part of a marginalised community.’
''Alongside the ongoing need for direct loneliness support, there’s an opportunity to build up infrastructure to facilitate connection. We’re calling for action and investment into strengthening community capacity, green spaces, high streets and meeting places, as well as transport and digital connectivity, to ensure a connected recovery'. (‘Loneliness Beyond Covid’ Campaign to End Loneliness July 2021).

Despite the challenges facing many charities in the wake of Covid-19, we have made progress in most areas of our work.
We have broadened the scope of our work to address loneliness in preparation for the coming years' focus on training volunteers and inspiring individuals within their day to day lives. We have continued to build new strategic partnerships with national and regional organisations where this is beneficial.

Responses to loneliness post-pandemic
Our Launch of Two's Company Befriending
Following the development of ‘Two’s Company’ as our initial telephone befriending scheme in response to Covid-19 lockdown, we have this year launched Two’s Company Befriending as our primary model for all new befriending schemes in future. This will include those operating home visiting, telephone befriending or a ‘hybrid’ approach. We also enabled existing befriending schemes set up during lockdown to convert their processes from telephone befriending to home visiting where requested.conver
We were also encouraged to see a good number (60-70) of those previously receiving regular calls or visits no longer requiring volunteer contact by the end of the year as a result of engaging with community activities or becoming more confident. This is an extremely positive outcome.
Development of Modular Training
A further key development was the creation of our modular training package used to support local schemes to set up a Two’s Company Befriending scheme. There are now 5 modules delivered through a combination of online interactive sessions, self-service videos and expert panels. Key modules cover: setting up schemes; preparing a team; receiving referrals; beginning activity, monitoring and signposting.
Conference & Webinars
We held our 2021 conference from 13th-17th September using
the theme of ‘Streams in the Desert’ following the previous challenging months of the pandemic and this was attended by almost 90 people. We were pleased to be joined by keynote speakers Debra Green OBE - Executive Director of Redeeming Our Communities and Baroness Diana Barran MBE - Minister for Civil Society.
We ran a wide variety of conference workshops including:
Using Music in Befriending Supporting Informal Carers Intergenerational Participation Overcoming Anxiety
We also ran 24 webinars during the year focusing on addressing loneliness through Linking Lives UK and on a more informal and individual level.
Impact Measurement and Reporting
We received a grant in kind to cover the costs of consultancy support as part of The Dunhill Medical Trust's capability scheme in January 2022. We began working with consultants to better understand and quantify the impact of Linking Lives UK on its delivery partners and the impact of their befriending activities on beneficiaries.
The project completed in our 2022-23 financial year and will be presented in our next Impact Report.
IN THEIR WORDS... Our Partners
"As an affiliate partner we have really benefitted from online resources and volunteer training. It has been very useful signing volunteers up for online training. Thank you for all the work you have done to make this available."
"We appreciate the support from Linking Lives UK. We can't always engage fully with everything, but appreciate what is accessible to us. All our scheme members have indicated how valuable the scheme is to them and has helped alleviate loneliness"
Our Volunteers
"I really love volunteering. It gets me out and about, keeping active and meeting people. Since I started, I have made new friends and this has been very positive for me.
Our Beneficiaries
"Just a friendly hug feels like the world is embracing me! It makes feel like God is here"
" Volunteering has helped my well-being. It has improved my life and the social condition. It is one of the best things anyone could do with their spare time."
"Just having someone not involved or connected with this difficult situation I am in, is helping me. I am feeling better about things."
"The excitement felt by one scheme member when she was able to go out for a drive with her volunteer after 2 months in isolation was infectious. Our volunteer compared it to having her young child in the car. Just lovely!"

CASE STUDY
Keswick Two's Company Launch
Two’s Company Keswick launched in early September 2021 as a partnership between Churches Together in Keswick (CTiK) and Keswick Rotary Club with support from Age UK West Cumbria.
Our journey started at the end of 2020 when we made contact with Linking Lives UK nationally and the befriending scheme already operating in Cockermouth, Cumbria. We had heard the inspiring things they were doing and recognised there was a similar need in Keswick.
Over the next six months the partners set up a working group, and with great support from the local and national Linking Lives team, put the necessary infrastructure in place, registered with Linking Lives, secured funding from local sources for the first year and developed a communications and publicity plan.
A paid part-time coordinator and a volunteer coordinator were in place by July 2021, and we formally launched on 8 September as a visiting and telephone befriending scheme. A steering group oversees the day to day running of the scheme along with trustees from the partner organisations and which is now registered with the Charity Commission. Referrals were coming from a range of sources and the word was getting out that the Two’s Company Keswick befriending scheme was here to help reduce loneliness and social isolation in this area. By the end of March 2022, we had recruited
18 volunteer befrienders and 7 scheme members were receiving regular home visits with 3 receiving phone calls.
One scheme member said, ‘I feel in very capable hands with Two’s Company Keswick’ and another, ‘I am really getting a lot out of this friendship.’
As we look forward to the future our hope and prayer is that there will always be the right volunteers to meet the needs of those referred.
Just 7 months after launching in Keswick, we had 18 volunteer befrienders, who were supporting 7 older people with regular home visits and another 3 older people with regular phone calls.

OUR THANKS TO GO...
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our volunteers across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland whose dedication at the frontline makes all of our impact achievable.
We would also like to thank our delivery partners and project coordinators for their commitment and motivation to make a difference in the lives of so many older people.
Finally, and very importantly, thank you to our supporters, donors and funders. We are privileged to receive your kind support without which Linking Lives UK would not be able to reach out to those most in need at the margins of society.
