Befriending Service
About Befriending Service
The aim of the service is to provide companionship and support for socially isolated people. A referral can be made by an involved professional e.g care worker, doctor, social worker or by a family member. Once joined in the scheme, a volunteer is assigned who will give support by visiting once a week in the home for company. All volunteers are fully trained. It is not a sitting service or respite.
