Live Wires is our telephone-based club allowing older people to
get together over the phone to discuss books, films or just have a
general chat.
Live Wires is a completely free service that:
- Gives older people the chance to discuss books, films and more
over the telephone in their own homes
- Allows participants to talk and share their views with
others
- Lets participants have conversations in confidence within the
group
Joining an Independent Age Live Wires club involves reading a
book, watching a film, listening to a radio play or taking part in
a discussion group. Every six or seven weeks the entire group
(about six people) will have a discussion over the telephone.
We provide DVDs and or books in advance and pay the postage cost so
there is no cost to those taking part. Most of the books will also
be available in large print and audio versions.
Live Wires only requires that participants have access to a
landline or mobile phone and are available to join in at the times
agreed in advance. At the agreed time those participating are
phoned and linked in with the rest of their group, so there is no
cost for the call.
