We
are looking for Befrienders to visit somebody in their community who is feeling
lonely or isolated and spend approximately an hour a week with them for
companionship and conversation. We try and place Face to Face Befrienders so
that minimal travel is involved, unless local is not wanted. A DBS certificate
is required, this is arranged by Age Concern Southend at no cost to the
volunteer.
Good listening and communication skills are needed, and you would need to be able to travel to a person’s home within the Southend area.
Start Date: 04/01/2023
End Date: 15/05/2026
