Befriending – exploring new things to do with our older folk eg meeting for a coffee, going for a walk, doing an activity/craft together, going to a new activity or group, just having a chat

Time Out for Carers – supporting much valued older carers and those they care for have time for themselves and help keep themselves well and connected.

If you have a couple of hours to spare once or twice a month and are interested in offering befriending or time out for carers, please get in touch! Volunteering can also open up new opportunities for you and give you the chance to meet people you wouldn’t normally in your day-to-day life.
