Our volunteers work with adults as well as children and families running coffee mornings, activities and supporting individuals one to one.
Befriending offers supportive, reliable relationships through volunteer befrienders. The results of befriending can be very significant. Befriending often provides people with a new direction in life, opens up a range of activities and leads to increased self-esteem and self confidence.

Would you like to join a team of volunteers providing our ‘Carers in Touch’ service, a telephone listening service for unpaid carers who have been identified as at risk of being socially isolated?

We invite people from all backgrounds to assist local carers by spending a few hours each week with the person they care for in their home, giving them a much-needed break.
