Do you want to make a real difference to older people without leaving your home?

Our Telephone Befriending Service is looking for volunteers who can use their skills to make a practical, and measurable, impact on older people’s lives.

You'd be directly improving their happiness and wellbeing with regular telephone contact and committing to a minimum of 4 hours a week speaking with different clients.

With full training (provided remotely) and ongoing support from our team, you’ll have regular opportunities to share your experiences with other volunteers, so you can learn from each other, enhance your skills and learn new ones.

All you need is a phone package that allows you to make free calls and access to the internet to update our database after you have made your weekly calls. 

Hours can be flexible and at a time that suits you and your clients
