Telelink

Telelink provides valuable social support, interaction and "phone friendship" for isolated older people. They are linked together in groups once a week for 3/4 hour.

Telelink was set up in response to UnitingCare Wesley Adelaide's concerns for the needs of lonely and isolated older people and their carers.

The Telelink program has been in operation since 1987.

Each week groups come together for a telephone conversation. Groups vary in size, most average 8 participants.

Clients

Telelink is a service for isolated older people/younger people with disabilities and carers who lack social interaction. Participants mostly come from throughout the metropolitan area. There are currently a number of country telelinks as well.

Volunteers

Telelink is always in need of caring volunteers, but it also requires additional funds so that it can further regionalise its program.
