Befriending home visits

Telephone: 01743 233 123

Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin's befrienders provide support to older people who may be experiencing loneliness and isolation.

Our volunteer befrienders visit on a regular basis to provide support to older people who may be experiencing loneliness and isolation. They do this in a number of ways:
• as a new friend, someone who listens, cares and gives you confidential support
• by providing regular contact and conversation
• by engaging in activities, maybe going for a walk, playing scrabble, watching a film or sharing hobbies
• by providing information about services provided by Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin and other organisations in your area.
