The charity provides a befriending service and support to care home residents. They organise one-to-one visits to those who are socially isolated and have few or no visitors. Volunteers visit their friend weekly or fortnightly for about an hour and spend an agreed time together talking, reading, playing games, or going out - depending on choices and abilities of the resident.
