How does this help me?
Due to exceptionally high demand, we are currently unable to accept new referrals for our Telephone Befriending Service.
We are working hard to support everyone already using this service and hope to reopen referrals as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
Service description: Have a lovely chat with one of our friendly volunteers over the phone.
Our volunteer will call at a time, date and frequency that is mutually agreed.
This service aims to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation by providing regular contact and companionship.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer Telephone Befriender, please get in touch. We are always looking for volunteers and this is such a rewarding role. For more information about our volunteering opportunities, visit our volunteering page.
