Services

​

SITTING SERVICE

The sitting service was set up to allow carers to get out and have a well earned break. They may be caring for someone 24 hours a day without any respite and this service enables them to do whatever they wish for a while without worrying about their loved one. ON HOLD AT MOMENT

 

BEFRIENDING

Our volunteers befriend people in their area who are lonely, isolated or housebound. Calling in for a weekly chat and a cuppa goes a long way. Note:- Task is visiting in the home, not taking client out. Not for those people in Residential / Nursing Homes or in Warden Assisted Housing. ON HOLD AT MOMENT

​

We are working hard to restart these services and we are trying to secure funding

BUDDYING

A volunteer buddy will provide short term support to individuals who have not left their home for some time and have lost confidence to go out.

TELEPHONE BEFRIENDING

An allocated volunteer will call the client to provide a regular telephone befriending service.
