🎄🎅Re-engage Christmas Call Companions is back! 🎄🎅

Become a Christmas call companion

Christmas is a time for giving, and spending time with family and friends, but imagine if you are an older person with no family or friends, can you imagine how lonely and isolating it will be....

But YOU could make the difference this Christmas, by giving them the best present 🎁

We NEED YOU to help reduce loneliness for older people by making one call every week in December.  You must be aged 18+ for this opportunity.

This is a short-term, flexible, homebased volunteering role that can easily fit around your own lifestyle and availability.

What makes a good call companion?

People who have:

• A friendly nature

• Good listening skills

• Good conversation skills

• Patience and understanding

• A desire to improving the lives of lonely and isolated older people

• Basic computer skills (our inductions, checks and training are all online and our charity is paperless)

If this sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you.

What’s in it for you?
This is a fun, flexible and rewarding role.  It will enable you to connect with, and make a real and lasting difference to, the life of an older person who is experiencing social isolation or loneliness during what can be an incredibly difficult time of year.

Time commitment:  This is a short-term opportunity.  You would call the older person you’ve been matched with for approximately 30 minutes either weekly or fortnightly at an agreed time throughout December.
Expenses reimbursed: To keep our services free for older people, we aren’t able to pay expenses for this role.
Training provided: As a valued volunteer you’ll receive training, support and regular updates and communication from the Re-engage team.
Selection procedure: Informal discussion, application form completion, 2 references and complete an ID check.
