The Ageing Better Middlesbrough programme is working to reduce loneliness and social isolation for people aged 50 and over in Middlesbrough.

It’s made up of several different projects and organisations working together to support and empower local older people. We collect and share information about exciting opportunities in Middlesbrough and different ways to connect you to your community and enjoy everything it has to offer!
If you’re feeling lonely or isolated from others you’re not alone. It affects many people in Middlesbrough.
You can meet someone from our team and together we’ll help you make positive changes to feel less lonely.
Some of the ways we can help you:
- Spending time getting to know you and what’s important to you
- Giving you time to talk about your thoughts and feelings
- Helping you meet someone who’s interested in similar things to you
