Targeted at housebound residents in Medway, Kent. Our In-Home Befriending Programme will take your beneficiary away from complete isolation. Each week a trained Befriender and a volunteer will meet with your beneficiary/client in their own home for an hour or two visit. The sessions are very informal and will focus on the likes, dislikes and interests of the beneficiary, and where appropriate we will help to build their confidence with the aim to getting them out and about in the community.
