Donate to fight Loneliness

Apply For Help

Welcome to WaveLength

WaveLength is the UK’s leading loneliness charity giving media technology to those most in need.

Donate to WaveLength

WaveLength gives radios, televisions, and tablet computers to those in need across the UK to help fight loneliness. This technology can help to maintain and increase the number of meaningful connections people have in their lives and act as a window to the world. We support those who are lonely because of age, poor physical or mental health, who are isolated or by circumstances which make it hard for them to leave their home. The gift of technology helps bring people together, keep them informed, and breaks the silence which many lonely people live with on a daily basis. Our research with the University of York shows that it helps people to feel less lonely, happier, and healthier too.

A television or radio is often all it takes to alleviate isolation.

Moving from a highly social environment to a place all alone can be very isolating experience.

Having a radio made me less anxious.

Moving into my own accommodation with nothing was difficult. The radio has really helped my mental health.

The tablet has been helpful in supporting family activities.

We've searched for recipes online and spent quality family time cooking and connecting as a family.

The tablets provide a way to communicate & re-connect.
