As a responsive, remote, Here to Talk volunteer you will be providing low level emotional support to unpaid carers over the telephone. Fortnightly, regular contact, is offered to those carers who have been identified as needing additional communication; a friendly voice to talk to, listen to their concerns and generally lift their spirits reducing feelings of loneliness at this particularly difficult time.
The Here to Talk project has been vital during the last 12 months and unpaid carers have commented ‘it’s been a lifeline to just chat to someone,’ volunteers too have found it a rewarding experience valuing the accredited training and range of experiences. Many volunteers have joined us through their employers, on furlough, practical experience needed for their CV or just to make a difference and support isolated carers.
