Our Clients  

The Befriending Service is a voluntary service for older people, carers and people with hearing loss, experiencing loneliness and isolation.

The purpose of the scheme is to match Befrienders with clients to provide companionship and a listening ear.  

The Befriender does not replace home helps, or carers.

Once a Befriender has been found, the client can expect regular visits either fortnightly or monthly depending on need.

The Manager carefully checks each potential Befriender before any introductions are made, as well as taking up two references.  

The Manager will always meet with the new volunteer.
