In a letter dated 23/4/2019 this charity stated: “With regards to assisted dying, we do not have an official policy on this matter. We support people from 55 years old upwards who feel lonely and isolated through our free 24-hour helpline and telephone friendship service.
“Whilst we do not have an official policy on assisted dying, nor do we have any campaigns regarding this issue, we cannot guarantee that we don’t support someone who may be involved in the issue. We are a non-judgemental and confidential service, however with an issue as big and as personal as assisted dying, we would never promote of discuss this with any of our callers as it would not be appropriate for us to do so.”
