Embracing the elderly
Would you like to help reduce isolation among the elderly ?
Little Brothers is more than just a helping hand: it’s a presence that lasts. Because no one should have to age alone.
Taking action against isolation
Since 1962, Little Brothers has been offering free compassionate support in Quebec to people aged 75 and over, to break isolation, restore the joy of living, and promote active aging.
Support is tailored to the wishes, pace, and reality of each elderly person. Under the direction of regional teams across Quebec, volunteers take part in various activities to break isolation and foster authentic and lasting connections.
Support
To offer a constant and respectful presence, so that no one should have to age alone. To be a voice for the elderly, raise awareness among public and elected officials, and promote positive aging.
Promise to the elderly
A simple and basic list of resources to better understand isolation, access support in your area, or discover ways to stay connected. These resources exist to support elderly persons, their loved ones, and those who wish to take action.
Useful resourcesDo you suffer from isolation, or do you know someone who does ?
We affectionately call the elderly persons we support our “Great Friends,” a nickname that reflects all the appreciation and respect we have for them.
If you are an elderly person looking for support, or if you know someone who is experiencing isolation, the Little Brothers team in your area is there for you.

Ongoing Campaign
Your generosity creates a true chosen family for the Holidays.
In Quebec, one in five older adults has no close relative to rely on. In December, this loneliness weighs even heavier. Every gesture helps bring warmth and comfort to older adults experiencing isolation.

Testimonials from our Great Friends
“Here, I’m part of the gang. People are so welcoming and warm-hearted. You can tell they really care about us. Their kindness is genuine and it touches my heart.”
M. Bales, Great Friend
“My husband and children have passed away, and in a way, you could say that Little Brothers has replaced them. They bring me peace of mind and really make my life easier.”
Mme Marchand, Great Friend
“I was in darkness, feeling lost. Then Little Brothers came into my life and promised to stay with me until the end. Now I have a new family.”
Mme Malouin, Great Friend
