Yorkshire Building Society, which has a branch in Commercial Road, is supporting the charity, which operates the UK's only free and confidential 24/7 helpline to tackle isolation among older people aged 55 and over.

Colleagues from the Portsmouth branch will be distributing information leaflets during July to highlight the services.
