Age Concern Visiting Service
Age Concern Visiting Service
The visiting service is a befriending service that matches older people who are socially isolated with volunteers who are keen to spend time getting to know them. Our volunteers are police-checked and trained, and spend an hour each week to enjoy conversation and shared interests and activities with their older friend in the friends home.
Are you feeling that you spend too much time on your own?
The visiting service is for people over 65, live in their own home, would like more company and able to contribute to a mutually beneficial relationship.
