Call Companions Befriending

As a call companion you’ll make wonderful regular telephone calls to the same older person who is experiencing loneliness and isolation. These friendly chats are great to get to know someone and also lifeline of friendship for older people as a vital link with the outside world from which they’ve become isolated.

This is a flexible, homebased volunteering role that can easily be fitted in around your own lifestyle and availability.
