Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin's volunteers can accompany you to access social activities in your neighbourhood.

It is often difficult to try new things at any age, but particularly if you have lost your confidence. You might want to try a local club or activity but the thought of going alone for the first time puts you off. Our short term befrienders will accompany you to whatever activity, group or club that interests you; and they will continue to attend with you until you feel confident enough to go by yourself. The aim, after all, is to make new friendships.
