CHEER is your local charity dedicated to supporting people over 60 in Elmbridge, North Surrey. For over 70 years, we have been helping older residents feel less lonely and more connected to their community.
We offer a range of free and friendly services designed to make life easier and more enjoyable:
- Befriending: We match clients with volunteer befrienders for regular visits, offering companionship and a friendly face.

- Parkinson’s Group: We run a dedicated group for people living with Parkinson’s and their carers, offering support and connection.
