British Red Cross – Befriending Volunteer


Our aim is to provide support to individuals in their own homes to enable them to live as independently as they can. 

Would you like to help us to do this? 

We offer valuable time-limited support for individuals over 50 who are vulnerable to crisis.  

Typical tasks include  

•Visiting individuals in their own homes, once a week.
•Giving emotional support, and a listening ear.
•Helping someone rebuild their confidence by supporting them on trips out into the community, for example, taking them to a local social group.
•Giving information to people on other support that may be available to them in their community such as other charities and social activities.
•Keeping a record of contact and activities undertaken with the service user
