Befriending Volunteer – The British Red Cross


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