Volunteer Be-friender
Irish Community Services
Helping those who live alone, are housebound and aged 60 and over. Under the Scheme, a trained volunteer is introduced to an older person from the Irish Community who has requested contact. The same volunteer visits each week, or at an agreed regular time, with a view to developing a friendship – having chats over a cup of tea, sharing news, playing cards or scrabble, or going for a walk to the local park.
- To provide a warm, friendly visit to a client. - To provide a listening ear for the client. - To pass on important information and work with staff if the clients have any questions or concerns. - Volunteers will be required to be available for a minimum of 4 hours every two weeks.
