Caring Neighbourhood Scheme
The Caring Neighbourhood Scheme can provide volunteersto visit or catch up with you on the phone.
Home visits
You will be carefully matched with a volunteer who can visit your home on a regular basis to share a cup of tea and a chat.
This scheme is for older people who are housebound or feeling socially isolated.
Your match with a volunteer is intended to be a long term relationship and real friendships are often forged.
Phonelink
The Phonelink scheme provides an alternative to a home visit. A volunteer will call you each week to check you are well, to catch up on the news and to provide a link to the outside world.
