Volunteer Befrienders for Older People who are lonely and isolated

Are you are a compassionate person who likes to have a chat?  Then you could be what we are looking for.  

We have a list of older people, some of whom are further socially isolated due to Covid-19 who would like someone to talk to.  Some of these people may not speak to anybody from one week to the next and only have their television for company. 

You could make that difference by spending just an hour on a weekly basis (or more if you want) in conversation.

Time commitment: A suggested time commitment is a few hours each week.
Expenses reimbursed: Out of pocket expenses are reimbursed.
Training provided: Full training is provided.
Selection procedures: An informal discussion, application form completion, 2 references and a disclosure and barring (DBS) check (cost met by organisation).
