Phone Friends - We need you!
Published on 19 January 2023 03:23 PM
We desperately need volunteers for our Phone Friends telephone befriending service. Unfortunately, we have had to put a pause on referrals with a waiting list of 30 people, due to not having enough volunteers.
Our existing Phone Friends volunteers do an amazing job and play a vital role in providing comfort and friendship to an older person who may be feeling lonely - but we need more!
Volunteering as a Phone Friend requires a minimum commitment of 1 hour per week and can be done from the comfort of your own home.
