  • Home-based Befriending

    Our 1:1 face-to-face Befriending service is a free, home visiting service which aims to provide company for people over the age of 65 who are feeling lonely or isolated, and have no family or other support nearby. A volunteer will visit you in your home on a weekly basis and sit and have a chat and a cup of tea with you.

  • Telephone Befriending

    We also offer Telephone Befriending, where a volunteer will call you once or twice a week for a chat. This service provides support to older people experiencing loneliness, isolation or are feeling anxious due to the pandemic.
