One-to-one companionship and support for older people.

Feeling lonely or isolated?

If you feel lonely, or if you support someone who is lonely or isolated we have volunteer befrienders who will pop round for a chat on a regular basis

DBS checked Volunteers

Age UK Canterbury monitor the friendship and try to ensure that the older person and befriender have similar interests.

All volunteers have references and are DBS checked so you can feel confident about welcoming them into your home
