Bringing friendship to the eldelry who live alone
Article Date :Friday 01st July 2011
Our young volunteers visit our elderly on a regular basis. For the elderly that we cannot visit we build up a strong telephone friendship. We make a commitment to ring them a least once a week and send birthday and special occassion cards.
Our Friendship calls are very important to our elderly friends who are confined to their homes, sometimes they will be the only social calls they get. They can also serve as an 'early warning ' and prevent a problem becoming a crisis.
