Volunteer Befrienders are introduced to someone - often an older person - who may be unable to get out and about and seldom has visitors.
People can request a befriending visitor or be referred by a relative, Social Services, the NHS or another agency.
Befrienders visit weekly or fortnightly to give companionship.
What skills do I need?
- A friendly personality and the ability to talk with and listen to an older person.
- Our clients may have failing sight or hearing or suffer from early dementia, so volunteers need to be patient and kind.
