Visiting Programme
The volunteer is introduced to an elderly friend in need of company and general social contact
A phone call or a short weekly visit is all it takes to say ‘someone cares’. For many elderly it is their only contact with a friend and often these visits are the beginning of a warm relationship that lasts for years.
