Telephone Befriending

Telephone Befrienders support those in our community who need someone to talk to. Telephone befriending is done at a time convenient to you and the client. When you enrol, we will match you with someone who has shared interests with you.

Telephone Befriending makes a huge difference to the happiness and wellbeing of an older person.

If you like talking to new people and want to help your community, we would love to hear from you!
