Volunteering

Make a difference by providing company and conversation to an older person in Croydon.

Our Befriending service supports older adults by alleviating loneliness and isolation, supporting independence, and increasing self-confidence, by making weekly or fortnightly phone calls or visits to a client living in the borough of Croydon.
