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 (who must be 18 or over), 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. We also provide activity opportunities within Bedford care homes for volunteers to sing or play instruments, help with activities and offer help to other projects that we run.
Client Groups: Older People, Volunteers,
Services Provided: Befriending/Mentoring, Health - General, Social & Community Care Services, Volunteering,
