Our services include:
Befriending / Sitting Service:
Sitting Volunteers
The sitting service was set up to allow carers to get out and have a 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 Volunteers
Our volunteers also befriend people in their area who are lonely, isolated or housebound. Calling in for a weekly chat and a cuppa goes a long way. ON HOLD AT MOMENT
