We all need a helping hand or listening ear – sometimes more so due to health, isolation or recovery following an operation. We are seeking Befrienders to provide a light touch assistance in delivering support to clients to help reduce their social isolation.
How you can make a difference to people’s lives as a Befriender:
- Increase or maintain social links such as attending local events, transport to coffee mornings,
- Accompany clients on GP or hospital appointments,
- Teach clients new digital skills such as email, Skype or how to search the web,
- Practical support in the garden or a spot of DIY in their home
- Assistance with hoarding disorder,
- Support a carer who is feeling isolated.
