As a Face-to-Face Befriender, you will visit a neighbour who may be lonely or isolated. Have a chat over a cup of tea or pop out for a walk, it’s up to you and your friend. You can alternatively create meaningful moments through phone calls as a Phone Befriender. These calls provide engagement and enjoyment to people who are experiencing loneliness and isolation. Volunteering as a Befriender can make a huge difference to the happiness and well-being of an older person.
