Telephone Befriender - Volunteer

Are you a good listener?

Do you enjoy making someone's day?

Can you spare an hour a week to change an older person's life by telephoning them?

As Telephone Befriender you can enjoy a regular friendly chat on the phone with older people each week.

You will be matched with an older person, providing friendship and sharing news, views and interests.

This is a very rewarding role which can be fitted around anyone who is working full time or part time.

Training & support is provided to all our volunteers.

All volunteers must be over the age of 18 and are recruited subject to references and a clear enhanced DBS. Training will be provided
