Befriending
Age UK Calderdale and Kirklees offer befriending services at home and over the phone.
We offer a befriending service for any older person who feels lonely or isolated and try to support them to lead a more fullfilling life.
Following a visit by our client liaison team and a discussion about how we can help, a Volunteer Befriender is introduced to provide face-to-face friendship and support in the home.
